I saw that Kevin Martin aka The Bug has rescored Solaris, which is a ballsy thing to do given the immensity of both the Tarkovsky film and the soundtrack by Artemiev
I feel like this is a thing that others have done but I can't think of any other examples
Did the dude from Portishead do one?
I guess it's an amateur thing people do when they think a film is let down by its existing score, but I'm thinking more people putting them out as recordings for sale
then there's people doing them retroactively for silent movies or experimental films that don't have any music (or stealing the film to slap under their track so they have a promo - seems to happen a lot with avant-garde animation)
but the Kev Martin move - it's kind of a twist on the old '90s electronica / trip hop cliche of "a soundtrack for a non-existent movie" - a soundtrack for a very much existent movie
i wonder if it will become a growth area, a new frontier of retro culture
