The 11th hour Soundtrack


While grocery shopping last night I stumbled upon the 11th hour. A documentry narrated by Leo Decaprio about climate change and you guessed it what we are doing to help turn it around or make it worse. I really enjoyed the movie's content. Stephen Hawkings, David Susuki amongst others share with us some amazing opinions. The dvd comes in an enviromentally friendly package and cost me only 8 dollars in the store (4.99 @ Amazon)

What really got me going is the films score. Ever since the Bad Boys soundtrack I have been obsessed with cinematic music. Its amazing to see music compliment a picture so well as it did in the 11th hour. Most of the tunes are ambient and give the film either a depressing sorrowful tone or completely the opposite; inspiring instrumental segments.

After doing some research I found a band featured on the soundtrack named deaf center from Norway. They produced an album named "Pale Ravine" This album is inspired by old 8mm films and it easy to understand how after listening. The album has a classical sound with pianos and stings but includes sounds from storms, rusty machines, buzzing flies and voices gasping for air and little glitchy electronic noises. Be warned though, I find this music really evokes fear even without the accompanying visuals.

Check it out!
