Jerskin Fendrix announces details of forthcoming Bugonia soundtrack
Academy Award-nominated producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Jerskin Fendrix has announced Bugonia (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) alongside the release of "Star Saliva / Industry".
Fendrix and Lanthimos began their third collaboration prior to the film’s production, with Fendrix recording much of the music based solely on conversations with the director as a guide. “For Bugonia, Yorgos did not allow me to see the script, or know anything about the film apart from the three words ‘Bees,’ ‘Basement’ & ‘Spaceship,’” recalls Fendrix of the process. “All of the music is derived from my research on these three areas and seeing how much connective tissue they might have, mainly in a structural/systemic/geometric sense and in regard to some ideas about altitudes.”
The album is the latest in an ongoing creative partnership between Fendrix and Bugonia director Yorgos Lanthimos following their work together on the director’s previous two films, Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness.
The 15-track album features the full orchestral pieces written by Fendrix prior to the film’s production, expanded versions of music the composer says arrive, “without much of the butchering that necessarily happens in the film editing process.”
