> In the just-released Spring issue of Filmmaker Magazine, Gregg Araki
> talks to Peter Bowen about, amongst other things, the process of
> scoring his new film, Mysterious Skin. Araki's films are known for
> their back-to-back club-mix-style source cues; he knew he needed to
> break the mold with this project but, still in need of something to
> edit to, he cut the first draft of the film to "The Moon and the
> Melodies", by The Cocteau Twins and lo-fi legend Harold Budd. "The
> music needed to all be of the period, which would have been 1991, and
> that album worked perfectly," he says. When it came down to replacing
> it, Araki took a shot in the dark and contacted Budd and Cocteau Twin
> Robin Guthrie, who were not only miraculously available, but went on
> to produce "the most beautiful music, like overnight."
>
> The score is incredibly haunting and powerful, and yet it blends
> seamlessly with the few jems from Araki's record collection that pop
> up gloriously and unexpectedly throughout the narrative. The opening
> credits are set to Syd Barrett's "Golden Hair", as covered by
> Slowdive; later we hear from Ride, Sigur Ros and the Cocteau Twins
> proper. Amazon says the film's soundtrack will be released on May 24,
> and even if, like me, you could unearth most of it from your own MP3
> collection, the score itself is worth checking out.
