Synth Soundtracks Trailer - Now playing on the Criterion Channel!
Once the sound of the future, now awesomely retro, synth soundtracks add a splash of otherworldly atmosphere to some of the coolest movies ever made. Using state-of-the-art analog and digital technologies, pioneering musicians like Bebe and Louis Barron (FORBIDDEN PLANET), Wendy Carlos (A CLOCKWORK ORANGE), Sun Ra (SPACE IS THE PLACE), Tangerine Dream (THIEF), Vangelis (MISSING), and Ryuichi Sakamoto (MERRY CHRISTMAS MR. LAWRENCE) created immersive soundscapes that expanded cinematic storytelling and forever changed the art of movie soundtracking. Alternately eerie, icy, pulse-pounding, and thrillingly emotional, these scores tunnel into your eardrums at ecstatic frequencies hitherto unexplored.
