EKIN FIL - Inflame OST

Format: MC Label & Cat.Number: Helen Scarsdale HMS044 Release Year: 2017 Note: first ever film soundtrack for Istanbul's hazy ambience producer EKIN FIL, made for a 'psychological thriller' by ÖZGÜN ÖZCELIK; quite different from her previous releases... "Ekin uses a palette of synths, electronics and drum machines to convey a tense and claustrophobic sound, where severed voices float thru minor key melodies and slow, epileptic hallucinations, sometimes prodded with skeletal electro rhythms, at other left to linger uncomfortably in crepuscular mid-air with curt resolutions." [boomkat] Price (incl. 19% VAT): €10.00 More Info Istanbul's drone-pop producer ekin fil turns her sites to the big screen for the first soundtrack in her impressive catalogue of recordings. inflame (2017) is a psychological thriller laced with paranoia and nightmares, directed by ceylan özgün özçelik and was showcased at the berlin international film festival and the sxsw film festival, amongst others. in making her cinematic debut, ekil fil turns synths and electronics, in building the score that in part is brimming with tension and claustrophobia through out all the blank spaces. always known for her restrained compositions that float amidst ethereal pools of drone and whorl, ekin fil sets forth haunting minor-key melodies, monotone arppegiations and plenty of seance-fiction dread. scattered bits of the film's sound design flicker at the edges of these tracks, as an aural hallucination that dissolves as quickly as it becomes evident. dubbed electro rhythms creep through the recursive leitmotifs and variations on themes always cast in a dim, crepuscular light. less informed by the retro-garde aesthetics of carpenter and argento, the spectral electronics of inflame's soundtack finds its neighbors in the skeletal sprawl of raime and the darker ambient propositions sponsored by posh isolation.
