Kim;

Actually, I know very well the son of the guy who did the soundtrack for
the movie (Edward Artemiev) very well.  Contact me off-list if you wish
to contact him directly.

'CITY OF THE FUTURE'

I rented Tarkovsky's 'Solaris' again last month after seeing the
Soderbergh
remake in LA last November and thought it would make for a good
remix/treatment project...

I've always had a favorite part of 'Solaris': 'the city of the future' -
as
it is titled on the DVD release...the entire scene is recorded from the
point of view of the astronaut as he drives to the city on the
highway...the
sound design for this particular scene has always haunted me...along
with
the sound for Eraserhead it is some of the best sound art in a film I
can
think of (other than Stalker that is)...so I grabbed it off the DVD and
will
make it available on the hotline server as an aiff file in a couple of
hours...I just need to finish uploading it...

I thought the title was fitting due to the current world situation...it
is
not an overt political theme for the project but it implies hope for a
city
in the future...so while this could mean 'Baghdad' it could also mean
the
city you live in/near or a city you like to visit...a city could also
represent any large collection of various types and races of people...

in any event, this is meant to be a productive, constructive, creative
theme
expressing hope for the future...

OK, sharpen your mouse (I borrowed that from someone - can't remember -
but
thanks!) and fire up your audio software and start on it...
