Various Artists [Chinstrap Music] - Sounds to Come (2011)



/Soundtrack, Avant-garde, Hauntology, Sound collage, Film noir, Experimentalism, Cut and paste, Conceptual/

Comment: Sounds to Come is the second installment of a series on Chinstrap of music and sound-design cut from public-domain horror and science-fiction films from 1940-1970 offering up an amusing 6-track blend of haunting and joyful sounds. Lots of ghastly monologues which are supplemented with glass shattering explosions, mechanical sonic effects and otherworldly displayed big band orchestrations. Ergo Phizmiz-approved compilation is very thrilling indeed. The excerpts are taken from such films as The Man Who Changed His Mind, Svengali, The Phantom Ship, Attack of the Giant Leeches, Horrors of Spider Island, Teenagers Battle The Thing (all under the CC licence at Archive.org).
