It is for Zou monogatari AKA Elephant Story (1980) directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara, his brother Koretsugu Kurahara & Hino Narimichi. The soundtrack was composed by Ryudo Uzaki & Makoto Kawaguchi (Uzaki wrote the songs, Kawaguchi composed the score). It also features Naomi Chiaki on vocals for two songs. This film is also unavailable online it seems. Hopefully it will be found someday, as it completes Kurahara’s “nature trilogy” which includes The Glacier Fox & Antarctica.Read More »

It is for the film Hi wa shizumi, hi wa noboru AKA Sunset, Sunrise (1973) by Koreyoshi Kurahara. The soundtrack was composed by Nino Rota in between the first two Godfather films. Unfortunately the film is not available online, but at least we have this to remember it by (at least until someone finally releases the film itself…maybe someday).Read More »

Eduard Artemiev – Tarkovsky movies OST (Solaris-The Mirror- Stalker)

Eduard Artemiev

In the latter part of the 1950’s, the engineer and mathematician Yevgeniy Murzin had a problem. He had just realized his life long dream of constructing music synthesizer (then called “ANS”) but knew no musician with sufficient imagination to explore its vast potential. In 1960, upon meeting 22-year-old Edward Artemyev, a recent graduate of the Moscow conservatoire, Murzin immediately felt he had found what he was searching for in the young composer, who embraced the new instrument and quickly mastered its many subtleties. Artemyev has since composed numerous works varying from electronic avant-garde to film music. He is probably best known for his collaboration with A. Tarkovskiy composing music for his films: “SOLARIS” in 1972, “THE MIRROR” in 1975 and “STALKER” in 1979; and with such filmmakers as Andrei Mikhalkov-Kontchalovskiy and Nikita Mikhalkov.Read More »
