Guy Skornik - Tusk '2019

Tracks list

From Guy Skornik, the composer and arranger behind Popera Cosmic and Pour
Pauwels, comes the enigmatic instrumental cues that provided fellow
existentialist and notorious auteur director Alejandro Jodorowsky (The Holy
Mountain) with the soundtrack music to what is now considered his rarest and
most overlooked feature film, Tusk. As part as Finders Keepers ongoing dedicated
Jodorowsky soundtrack series we present the original film edits from the 1979
studio sessions featuring Steve Hillage (Gong) and members of Cossi Anatz. 

Following his mind melting masterpieces Fando & Lis, El Topo and The Holy
Mountain, Jodorowskys disowned attempt at a family film retains the
director’s ongoing demand for intense, experimental film music resulting
in what is undeniably one the best kept sonic secrets from the darker corners of
this coveted filmography. Cherry-picked from pre-recorded synthesiser fuelled
cosmic pop sessions by Skornik, these compositions provided Tusk with arabesque
new age synthesis alongside full-blown ambitious electro rock, as well as
classic French Fender Rhodes driven romanticism during some of this
lesser-spotted movie’s most memorable moments. Presented here in
isolation, Guy Skorniks multifarious futurist-pop evokes worthy comparisons to
Ash Ra Tempel, Enos Bowie and Suzanne Ciani, mapping an unlikely journey between
Magma and 10cc in the process. Dont ignore Jodorowskys elephant in the room -
you never know what is hidden in the trunk.
