Paris Window (Original Score)
Boomkat Product Review:
Ben Babbitt (Weyes Blood, HTDW) supplies a subtly intoxicating, darkly streaked soundtrack for ‘Paris Window’, a feature film by musician and director Amanda Kramer. RIYL Huerco S, Vangelis, Dean Hurley, Bobby Krlic
A strong batch of L.A.-shadowed noir reflecting the hypnagogic themes of Kramer’s film, ‘Paris Window’ unfolds between scenes of suspenseful romance, smoke-curling choral pads, and sparing eruptions of brittle bare bones percussion and abrasive digital noise that will turn your living/listening space into a far more cinematic place.
“Director Amanda Kramer’s prompts for composer Ben Babbitt’s soundtrack to her enigmatic film Paris Window read like magnetic fridge poetry – “warped ambient bumper muzak tension” – but the results skew closer to some hypnagogic contemporary noir: lulling, low-lit, and laced with lingering dread. Electronics, strings, and percussion swoon and seethe in heady mirages of dreams and delirium, romance and menace. The narrative it accompanies is equally opaque and out of time: two eccentric siblings psychologically unravel through divergent fixations, one obsessed with the hypnotic infomercials of a mysterious self-help institute while the other falls in love with an ambiguous doppelganger.
Babbitt’s background scoring experiential video games (Kentucky Route Zero) and collaborating with exploratory songwriters (Angel Olsen, Weyes Blood, Eartheater) is evident in his versatility and finesse, flowing fluidly between starkly minimal and densely layered modes. Like all the most dynamic film music, the pieces weave a story of their own. 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. Babbitt builds a window into a surreal world, seen through shadows and smeared, street-lit glass.”
