A gateway to the electronic frontier.

 

In the twenty-five years since Walter (now Wendy) Carlos Williams created the first all-electronic score for A Clockwork Orange, the world of electronic music has expanded in step with technology. From its avant garde origins (Kraftwerk, Africa Bambataa) Electronica has evolved into a global clique of sub-genres (Acid House, Ambient, Big Beat, Breakbeat, Dub, Electro, Jungle, Hardcore, House, Techno, etc.) , and taken its place in the canon of popular music.

A key to creating the world of was the futuristic soundscape created by Composer Clint Mansell, Sound Designer Brian Emrich, and host of electronic music artists, assembled by Music Supervisor Sioux Zimmerman and Producer Eric Watson. From early on, the creative team set out to achieve an ultra-modern contrast to the stark Black & White 16mm images that were going to be on the screen.

Born in Stourbridge, England, Clint Mansell was the front-man for the wildly popular Pop Will Eat Itself, playing guitar and keyboard for the band from 1986-1996. In 1996 he left the band and struck out for America, where he met and collaborated with Darren Aronofsky on . "The powerful visual effect of the film challenged me to create music equally as poignant and inspiring," Mansell says of his work on . Now living in New Orleans, Mansell is continuing his career as a film composer, while producing for other artists and working on his first solo album.

Working closely with Clint was Sound Designer Brian Emrich, whose other work includes a collaboration with Jim Thirlwell on the soundtrack for the feature adaptation of J.G. Ballard's The Atrocity Exhibition and scoring another film entitled, The Bridge. In varying capacities Brian is perennial member of several bands including Foetus, Congo Norvell, Furnace and his own trance- ambient project Psilonaut.

Bringing this team together and rounding it all off by putting together the soundtrack for is Music Supervisor Sioux Zimmerman. best known for her work as electronic music's premier publicist, through her company Formula PR. SiouxZ has helped establish dozens of artists, including Nine Inch Nails, Portishead, Orbital, The Orb, Bush, and The Prodigy.
