about

Earlier in 2020 I was commissioned to score a film of my choosing. Chronopolis (Piotr Kamler) from 1982 was my first choice. It was to have been debuted in Chicago over a 16 channel speaker system, incidentally this was the first event to my knowledge to be cancelled due to Covid-19, furthermore it was Friday the 13th.

I re-edited the the film to 40 minutes and re-scored it from the ground up. This took no less than 40 hours in the studio to complete. After a break from the material, I was still happy with the results and felt that it was worthy of a release, so here you are.
