 The Sounds Of The Sounds Of Science
(Egon 07)
The Sounds of the Sounds of Science features
78 minutes of instrumental music by Yo La Tengo. The CD contains
the entire score written and performed by the band to accompany
eight legendary but rarely-seen undersea documentary shorts by
influential French avant-garde filmmaker Jean Painleve. Yo La
Tengo's score, originally debuted on stage at the San Francisco
Film Festival in April 2001 with the band providing live accompaniment
to the films, echoes the films' haunting surrealist imagery,
yet the music is equally evocative on its own, from the dreamy
soundscapes of “Sea Urchins” and “How Some Jellyfish
Are Born” to the harsher, more dissonant moods of “Liquid
Crystals”and “The Love Life of The Octopus”. In
September 2001, the group headed into a Nashville studio and
laid down the complete score with longtime producer Roger Moutenot.
The resulting album also features vibrant cover photos from the
films, along with ominous and comforting illustrations by Jim
Woodring and Jad Fair.
