LAKESHORE RECORDS TO RELEASE RAMPART – ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE
SOUNDTRACK
Featuring Original Music by Dickon Hichliffe
with Songs by Billy Hough, Leonard Cohen, Gonzalez & Zuninga, Molotov
and Others
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (January 17, 2012 – Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore
Records will release Rampart – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
digitally on January 24th and in stores in February 14, 2012. The
soundtrack features three songs by Billy Hough (from the legendary
Provincetown lounge act Scream Along With Billy), plus tracks by
Leonard Cohen, Gang Gang Dance, Gonzalez & Zuniga, EB Black and
Molotov.
Dickon Hinchliffe is a founder member of the British band
Tindersticks, in which he wrote songs and played violin, guitar and
keyboards. His orchestral arrangements became a distinguishing feature
of the band’s recordings. From 1993 to 2005 Tindersticks released six
critically acclaimed studio.
Hinchliffe began scoring films with the acclaimed French director
Claire Denis when she approached Tindersticks to write the scores to
her films Nenette et Boni and Trouble Every Day. This was followed by
Vendredi Soir which was Dickon’s first solo film score and attracted
the attention of the American film maker Ira Sachs who asked him to
compose the music for Forty Shades of Blue. The film won the Grand
Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005. Later that year he
wrote a very different kind of score and a song for the British
feature film Keeping Mum, a black comedy directed by Niall Johnson.
Since then, Hinchliffe’s credits include Married Life (again for Ira
Sachs), the Golden Globe nominated romantic drama Last Chance Harvey,
Cold Souls, the highly acclaimed Red Riding – 1980, and the Academy
Award nominated Winter’s Bone. He recently scored Passion Play, and
the Michael Mann production The Texas Killing Fields, and will soon be
working on the score to James Marsh’s upcoming thriller Shadow Dancer.
"When I wrote the music to Rampart my aim was to engage in the
emotional intensity of Woody Harrelson's character Dave Brown - his
feelings for his family, his mounting paranoia and rage,” described
Hinchliffe. “The music is stark, formed by electric guitars that are
at times melodic, but constantly on the verge of feedback. I wanted
the music to feel like it could go out of control at any moment like
Dave Brown."
Los Angeles, 1999 - Officer Dave Brown (Harrelson) is a Vietnam vet
and a Rampart Precinct cop, dedicated to doing “the people’s dirty
work” and asserting his own code of justice, often blurring the lines
between right and wrong to maintain his action-hero state of mind.
When he gets caught on tape beating a suspect, he finds himself in a
personal and emotional downward spiral as the consequences of his past
sins and his refusal to change his ways in light of a department-wide
corruption scandal seal his fate.
