“warped ambient bumper muzak tension”
The above words were the prompts given composer Ben Babbitt for filmmaker Amanda Kramer’s 2018 flick, Paris Window. While I would have assumed this was some kind of incomprehensible puzzle and huddled on the floor in the fetal position, Babbitt went ahead and created a whole darn soundtrack!
The score, due August 30 via Not Not Fun, is full of “serene synthetic swells decay into murmuring television static and eerie vocal fragments; close-mic’d drones turn acidic then claustrophobic, mirroring sleep paralysis transformed into panic,” as the label writes.
