12 October 2023 - 0 Comments
Lachlan Anderson (Die! Die! Die!) will release the soundtrack album to David Farrier’s Mister Organ on the 10th of October, which was released in Aotearoa last year following a North American release this month.
Here are some links to how the film is being received overseas: New York Times has given it Critics Pick for the week - The Guardian.
After a set of Q and A screenings with David Farrier the film expands nationwide across the US and Canada beginning October 13 via Drafthouse films.
The score undoubtedly adds to the film's tone, and especially to the suspense as the story unravels. Lachlan Anderson took it on, whom Farrier had been a keen fan of for sometime.
“I've always loved Lachlan Anderson's band Die! Die! Die! - and when Mister Organ editor Dan Kircher told me Lachlan was doing some scoring work I jumped at the opportunity, reached out, and found that we had a bunch of things in common besides loud music.” said Farrier. “Lachlan's unsettling score is such a key element in Mister Organ, as we get drawn into Michael's reality, or "unreality" I suppose: Things are always off kilter and uncertain, and Lachlan manages to ride the balance of quirky investigation, and the much darker elements of the film.”
To create the unique palette of sounds in Mister Organ Lachlan worked with guitar pedal maker Ryan Nicol of Glacial Creative, to create “The Clamp”.
Anderson explains, "It's an acoustic box with a whole bunch of discarded mechanical machinery such as typewriter parts, cranks, springs, traps, objects that make a strange sound when bowed, plucked, tapped or scraped. Fittingly the final result looks like an antique cash register from hell. Throughout the score you hear things ticking away sounding more and more unhinged as we discover more about the Clamper."
“I'd describe The Clamp as a terrifying but beautiful music box imported directly from the world of a Hellraiser film. The sounds echo the unhinged parts of the human brain” says Farrier. “The end result is a score that has you feeling sonically Mister Organ (in a good way!) - as things are increasingly untethered.”
