"I have been working with Jeff for years, and we are extremely focused on coming up with unusual ideas and sounds. The recording sessions included steel guitars, harmonicas and a NYC based jazz trio. The trio was comprised of James Chirillo on guitars, Victor Lewis on drums and Nick Szatmari on bass. The movie opens with radio noises and jazz music. So it's extremely important we get this mood right in order to suck the audience into the movie right away".
(Below are some pictures taken during the jazz trio recordings.)
"The movie takes place in the 1960's and an authentic sounding 60's jazz trio performs parts of my score. We refurbished tube Radios from the 1950's and 196o's with audio inputs and outputs and ran certain instruments as well as full score through these radios. This allowed me to create an authentic but warped radio influenced 1960's sound, which brings a dark moody atmosphere to an already dark score. Jesper adds: "the radio has a special meaning in the Staunton Hill universe and I wanted to bring that out by scoring the radio as a character in the film".With custom made equipment (made by Analog Labs), Jesper creates a serious sounding score with psychological elements, beautiful themes, lots of attitude and a dark surrealistic atmosphere.
