The film’s score and audio effects were almost entirely created by the songwriter and record producer Rupert Hine (Thinkman, Quantum Jump, Rush, Stevie Nicks, Kevin Ayers, Nico, Howard Jones, Underworld, Tina Turner and more). Rupert recorded reels of ideas and experiments for the film between 1977 and 1978 using an EMS VCS3, Yamaha CS80, Eventide Harmoniser and Roland Space Echo. He also created Crossley‘s terrifying shout and other foley effects such as the musique concrète for John Hurt’s studio scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon release marketing for the soundtrack focused on the involvement of Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford from the rock band Genesis. Their contribution was two short, repeated themes, co-produced with Rupert. It hasn’t been possible to include those tracks due to some challenging rights negotiations but what we do have is all of Rupert’s electronic effects, musical cues, demos, loops, drones and outtakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListen closely and you’ll hear Rupert's sounds scattered throughout the film, discreetly mixed by award-winning sound editor Alan Bell (The Man Who Fell To Earth, The Bounty) and Tony Jackson who use them to establish the film’s creeping dread. Rupert was an early adopter of new technology and amongst the sonic experimentation there are some gorgeous synthesised pieces using the Yamaha CS80, almost 4 years before Vangelis used the same instrument to create his legendary Bladerunner score.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRupert sadly passed away before completion of the tape transfers but it’s clear from the wealth of material we uncovered how immersed he was during the soundtrack’s production. It’s a testament to his creativity that, with a fairly simple studio set up, Rupert was able to conjure such an inspired selection of themes and effects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buried Treasure","offers":[{"title":"LP - Translucent Turquoise","offer_id":56024475205963,"sku":"R0671-9669","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":56024475238731,"sku":"R0671-7530","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/80d96efd-ee28-c3ac-6f59-bb78d6e983ce.jpg?v=1764671473"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/rupert-hine.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
