MONO ~ My Story, The Buraku Story (An Original Soundtrack)
Lost beneath all the post-rock excitement is the fact that MONO can be delicate and subtle, as proven on their very first soundtrack. The topic of burakumin ~ people segregated in Japanese society based on their “place of residence and bloodline” ~ is hushed

Aaron Cupples ~ Island of the Hungry Ghosts OST
Island of the Hungry Ghosts is a dark, three-tiered film. Billed as a “hybrid documentary,” the film receives a hybrid score, with music from Aaron Cupples and field recordings from Leo Dolgan. The sound design is cinematic even without the visuals, producing the mental

SP* Episode 2: DANCING ON THE HYPHEN – with Phillip Johnston
Phillip Johnston moved to Australia over a decade ago, but NYC still feels like his home turf. We were both back in town last November for Thanksgiving, and we met to discuss memory, music, media, the (not-so-silent) history of silent

*Press A* 2018 ~ The Year’s Best Videogame Soundtracks
This year the proliferation of unique styles and new approaches to old genres brought videogame soundtracks to what is perhaps a new high in quality and thought. From niche to popular composers, classical traditions to synthwave, everything we celebrate from

*Press A* ~ 2018’s Best Videogame Soundtracks So Far
This year has already been an eye-catching one for videogame music at large. Not only have the big industry releases come with surprisingly daring selections (Hammock for one disc of Far Cry 5, for example), but the indie scene has

Hildur Guðnadóttir & Jóhann Jóhannsson ~ Mary Magdalene OST
Our long goodbye to Jóhann Jóhannsson continues with the release of his final film score, co-composed with frequent collaborator Hildur Guðnadóttir. The score is elegant, powerful, and memorable. Unfortunately, these words have not been applied to the movie, typically described as “slow.”

Zach Abramson, Derek Muro and David Perlick-Molinari ~ All For a Few Good Waves OST
This lovely summer set began as the score to an acclaimed 15-minute documentary about famed surfer/graphic designer David Carson. In a rare turn, the full score is longer than the film, and has its own distinctive appeal. Freed from the

Marco Beltrami ~ A Quiet Place OST
Spoiler-free review! (We’ll mention the ending of the soundtrack, but not of the movie.) A Quiet Place is of special interest due to its concentration on silence and sound. How would Marco Beltrami score it? Unlike other films light on dialogue (Gravity, Castaway,
