Here’s a film music-angled guest mixology for the great late Chambre Noire series. A sprawling and tentacled collaged focus on music and sound design for cinematic experiences. My concentration is on art films, 1970-80s horror (American, Euro as well as Asiatique), cult flicks, animation and documentaries. 

Although tracklist features some big-name film composers who ended up co-opted into Hollywood death-machine (Morricone, Howard Shore, Pino Donaggio, Badalamenti) I tried to focus on their odder early efforts instead.

Includes momentous creations by Popol Vuh, Third Ear Band, Sonic Youth, Toru Takemitsu, David Lynch, John Lurie, Haruomi Hosono, Fabio Frizzi, RZA, Riz Ortolani, Komeda, Coil, Messiaen, Simon Fisher Turner, Stereolab, Eduard Artemiev, Michael Nyman, Klaus Schulze, Brian Eno, Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, our lady Meredith Monk and a bunch of other greats, both, directors and musicians. Full tracklist with movie titles and directors (see link below). Eye-pleasing digital collage by Bunzinelli
