I’ve yet to see Sweetgrass, another verite documentary—this one about Montana shepherds—reviewed positively by Doerksen this week, but it’s on my to-do list; it’s showing at the Music Box every evening at 5:20 and 7:30 PM at least through Thursday. The soundtrack was designed by Ernst Karel, a former Chicagoan and improviser perhaps best known locally for his work with Kyle Bruckmann in EKG. According to one of the film’s directors, Lucien Castaing-Taylor, “[Karel] designed this incredibly complicated, orchestrated soundscape, which he essentially composed out of all the different tracks that we’d recorded for the film, and then came up with a surround-sound mix.”
Today’s playlist:
Richard Youngs, Under Stellar Stream (Jagjaguwar)
Cravo & Canela, Preço de Cada Um (Production Dessinee)
Komeda Quintet, Astigmatic (Polskie Nagrania)
Baby Dee, A Book of Songs for Anne Marie (Drag City)
Various artists, South India: Flowers and Ashes, Hymns to Shiva (Ocora)
