Tracks list

ABOUT BARKSKINS
BARKSKINS examines the mysterious massacre of settlers in the vast and
unforgiving wilds of 1690s New France that threatens to throw the region into
all-out war. The series tells a thrilling story of exploration, adventure and
ambition among dreamers and fighters — some with a utopian vision of the
world, others crass and conniving, but all navigating the perils of a
treacherous new frontier. As tensions escalate, unlikely alliances are forged,
old antagonisms deepen and new families are formed against the seemingly endless
natural riches and hidden dangers of the new American continent.

ABOUT COLIN STETSON
Colin Stetson, born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, spent a decade in San
Francisco and Brooklyn honing his formidable talents as a horn player before
eventually settling in Montreal in 2007. Over the years he has worked
extensively with a wide range of bands and musicians, including Tom Waits, Lou
Reed, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and The National.
Stetson has developed an utterly unique voice as a soloist, principally on
saxophone and clarinet. His astounding physical engagement with his instruments
(chiefly bass and alto saxophones) produces emotionally rich and polyphonic
compositions that transcend expectations of what solo horn playing can sound
like. He is at home in the avant-jazz tradition of pushing the boundaries
through circular breathing and embouchure, and his noise/drone/minimalist sound
encompasses genres like dark metal, post-rock and contemporary electronics. 
More recently, Stetson has focused on scoring a number of original soundtracks,
including Color Out of Space (2019), Lavender (2016), which he co-scored with
Sarah Neufeld, A24 production Hereditary (2018) and Hulu series The First
(2018). He also contributed to the score for award-winning game Red Dead
Redemption II (2018) and is set to score the new Adult Swim anime miniseries
Uzumaki, an adaptation of Junji Ito’s renowned horror manga, which
arrives in 2020.
