How cool is Jim Jarmusch? So cool that he doesn’t even need to hire a music soundtrack supervisor. Why would he do that? He know exactly what he wants (and sometimes he just writes the damn music for himself). This is basically what he did for his new movie, “The Limits of Control.” Oh and and on top of all the experimental soundscape metal he’s curated for the film, he’s also going to be using songs by Austin, psychedelic rockers The Black Angels.
Focus Features were kind enough to show us an early graph at the press notes with Jarmusch talking about his own contributions to the soundtrack.
“I have a file of the music that I think is appropriate atmospherically for each film, and that has inspired me even before shooting. I pick the music, so there’s no music supervisor per se…When I was writing ‘The Limits of Control,’ I was already imagining using some things from Boris and Sunn O))), and Earth and The Black Angels. I made [director of photography] Chris Doyle CDs so he could listen to Boris; you could categorize Boris as a psychedelic/noise/metal band, but they’re just so original.”
“The Limits of Control” stars Isaach De Bankolé, Bill Murray, Gael Garcia Bernal, Tilda Swinton and hits theaters in limited release on May 22.
