Southland Tales
Listening to “Alone” from the amazing Moby on last.fm, I started reading the “Artist Description”.
My attention was caught by this: “Moby has recently scored the soundtrack for Richard Kelly’s upcoming movie ‘The Southland Tales’. Whilst he is generally against composing music for films, he was a huge fan of Kelly’s previous film ‘Donnie Darko’ and could not resist the offer the director gave him.”
“Donnie Darko” is one of my favourite movies and Moby is one of my favourite composers/producers. So I was excited by learning about this cooperation! I guess ‘Donnie Darko’s great OST featuring songs from Joy Division (which is Moby’s favourite band) must have motivated him to compose the music for Richard Kelly’s 4th movie. According to wikipedia, “Southland Tales is a 2008 science fiction film… Set in the near future, the film is a portrait of Los Angeles and a comment on the military-industrial newstainment complex.”
The “Southland Tales” website is up and running and you can here some music from the movie’s OST. The music is characteristic of Moby’s music with an ambient character and heavy use of atmospheric pads. I am looking forward to watch the Movie and listen to the OST. The release date is on March 2008.
