they showed this film at a local coffee shop here in southern california.
for the soundtrack, a fellow named alex (plays in the band "bassland") did
the music -- it was improv and ranged from very structured electronic
music (house/techno/downtempo) to very very glitchy and abstract.  the
more abstract and glitchy moments seemed to work VERY well with the film..
they gave the film a nice edge.  quite the memorable experience.

i have not seen the film in any other context to make a fair comparison
though...
