Two tracks from my composer Ari Balouzian’s band. Textured with hints of lounge music and swooning strings, both of these songs contain the same pleasantly disorienting unreality as The Villages itself.

🎸Bubbly, glistening, effervescent New Age tinged jazz that feels like you're slipping into a warm bath and swimming around with a bunch of weird little creatures.

Gorgeous ambient for all seasons. Individual parts intertwining into an eclectic and bordering-on-cinematic whole. A heartstring tug or two to be found throughout. And a lot of deliciously odd sound design woven in with the usual violins and what not, presented in a way that is anything but (usual, that is).

🎵My favorite Todd tune. Hauntingly cinematic. This was a big reference for us on our score. We attempted to combine elements of Todd’s psychedelic breakdowns with exotica and romantic noirs (Nelson Riddle and Hermann) to capture the mental and emotional landscapes of our subjects. This song felt that way for us. Something that felt more like a dreamscape.

📽Todd Haynes’ SAFE is one of the best films of the nineties, and it’s a film we referenced a lot during our time on SOME KIND OF HEAVEN for its visual language. Julianne Moore plays Carol, a LA homemaker who inexplicably becomes ill with what seems to be a chronic and extreme aversion to her environment. When mainstream medicine offers no answers, she has to search elsewhere for help. The movie plays as a horror film where the only villains are Carol’s environment and frail body. The movie is engrossing and enigmatic, refusing easy answers and tidy resolutions. And lord knows, it’s become far more relevant today.
