Lakeshore Records To Release Original Score For The Midnight Meat
Train
(July 9, 2008- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the
original score for THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN on July 22, 2008 in stores
and via iTunes. Composers Robert Williamson and Johannes Kobilke team
up once again for the film. The two composed the soundtrack for
PATHOLOGY, which was released earlier this year.
Co-Composer Robert Williamson got his start in music playing bass in
various bands in Seattle in the mid 90’s sharing bills with bands like
Nirvana and Soundgarden. He became infatuated with electronic music
and started Eat Knowledge recordings. In 2000 Robert wrote the script
for the movie DANDELION and as the movie reached final stages of
editing he decided to score it as well. The film debuted at Sundance
in 2004. He went on to score the film THE YOUTH IN US, a series for
MTV, contributed songs to UNDERWORLD EVOLUTION, wrote original music
for a documentary about Hurricane Katrina with director and R.E.M
front man Michael Stipe, and contributed additional score for the film
CRANK.
Johannes Kobilke began playing and improvising piano at the age of
six. During his teenage years he began writing original compositions
and working in electronic music production. Johannes also performed
as keyboard and piano player in several bands and as singer in a
classical choir. He studied film music and sound design at
Filmacademy Ludwigsburg/Germany. Since completing his studies in
1999, Johannes has composed the music for more than 25 television
movies in Germany and for commercials and industrials for companies
like BMW, Lexus, Lamborghini, Siemens, Burger King, AUDI, and VW.
PATHOLOGY and THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN are the first Hollywood films
Johannes has composed.
Next stop … death on THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, from Lions Gate, in
theaters on August 1, 2008. When Leon Kaufman’s (Bradley Cooper)
latest body of work – a collection of provocative, nighttime studies
of the city and its inhabitants -- earns the struggling photographer
interest from prominent art gallerist Susan Hoff (Brooke Shields), she
propels him to get grittier and show the darker side of humanity for
his upcoming debut at her downtown art space. Believing he’s finally
on track for success, Leon’s obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter
leads him into the path of a serial killer, Mahogany (Vinnie Jones),
the subway murderer who stalks late-night commuters -- ultimately
butchering them in the most gruesome ways imaginable.
From the shocking imagination of Clive Barker, Lions Gate films
presents THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, in theaters on August 1. Lakeshore
Records presents THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN Original Score, available in
stores and via iTunes on July 22.
