Eli Keszler - The Scary of Sixty-First (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2021

Tracks list

DESCRIPTION
This first release from the Deeper Into movies label is the score for Dasha
Nekrasova’s notorious award-winning debut feature film ‘The Scary
of Sixty-First’. Eli Keszler’s score meets at a confluence of John
Carpenter synths and the haunted drones of William Basinkski within its own
stream that evokes the very haunts of the film’s Uptown locations.
Speaking about the score Kesler said…“The score was built around the
‘pentagram melody’ as we called it, a seven-note symmetrical
pattern that formed the sign found on the tarot card, a repeated motif of dread
and premonition found in the film. Multiple versions of this concept is found
throughout the score. In the Scary Theme and later in Tarot Theme three
variations occur, where each triangle is introduced individually, followed by it
playing in counterpoint to each other to complete the symbol.
Nekrasova’s film is a thriller centred on two young women who unknowingly
move into a Manhattan apartment that used to belong to Jeffrey Epstein. The
psychosexual drama is steeped in Giallo, with a touch of DePalma and Polanski.
Premiering at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, it took
home their prestigious ‘Best First Feature’ award.
Keszler other film work includes contributions to Daniel Lopatin‘s score
for the Safdie Brother’s acclaimed, Uncut Gems, while his solo music has
been released on Empty Editions, ESP Disk and PAN. His album
‘Stadium’ released on Shelter Press was awarded Boomkat’s
2018 ‘Album Of The Year’ and Pitchfork claimed his most recent
album ‘Icons’ (2021) as ‘strangely wonderful’.
