Free Music Notes for Salton Sea (Score)
Free Music Review: one of thomas newman's best
Hit: 5 Stars
I never saw [or really heard of] this film, but as I hear more and more contemporary film scores, Thomas Newman sticks out as the most interesting composer so far, with the most imagination --- and in this score a multiplicity of new ideas are on display. It's just exciting, and fresh... close to what classical music might have been if after serialism it hadn't been straightjacketed within minimalism for so long. The score for "In the Bedroom" is interesting in the same way.
Salton Sea (Score) Poster
This dank-as-style contemporary film noir features most of the genre's familiar ingredients: murder, creepy characters, narrative flashbacks, an identity crisis or two, and a compelling if twisted subculture, in this case the scaly underbelly of the L.A. some speed freaks call home. While the genre has generally relied on dark jazz shadings--or, in the case of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, a hodgepodge of hellish synthscapes and nostalgic irony gone sour--the presence of Thomas Newman here guarantees something more expansive than clichés, and the young veteran delivers again. Newman's odd, percussion-reliant tack may occasionally be familiar here, but the score's unusually large ensemble allows him a wide timbral palate. He wastes no time infusing the score with jarring industrial rhythms, indistinct ethnic modalities that seem invented out whole cloth, some of Erin Brockovich's spare, Fender Rhodes-driven acid jazz shadings, and great, eerie dollops of the ominous, electro-acoustic soundscapes that have defined so many of his scores, yet without ever descending into caricature. Newman mixes it all into a hypnotic sonic cocktail that's as nervy as it is unsettling, one that zigs when you're sure it will zag, offering up some strangely reassuring musical comfort in a world of moral indifference and dramatic detachment. -?Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
