the haunted sw soundtrack 02 copy.jpg

Described as a ‘puppet horror film’, The Haunted Swordsman is the third film by master practical effects artist and director Kevin McTurk. It follows the story of a Swordsman (Jason Scott Lee) avenging the murder of his shogun with the aid of his trusty companion, a severed head (James Hong). Also staring Franka Potente as the Onibaba Witch and Christoper Lloyd as the Black Monk. The stunning puppets were designed, sculpted, painted and puppeteered by some of the best artists in the film effects business.

Will Thomas used a wide variety of instruments to create the creepy Japanese tinged score including an old Koto, Shakuhachi flute, Dhol drums, cello and modular synth.

"Hangar in Neutral" premiere

We had the pleasure of premiering the new In Neutral app on March 25 at an event hosted by the LA based architect Andrea Lenardin. The first installment, entitled "Hangar in Neutral" was in an airplane hangar at the Whiteman airport.

Here is a brief description of the piece - In Neutral is an app that allows users to collectively generate a unique and evolving piece of music. Audience members are invited to participate in this communal composition by bringing their own Bluetooth speaker paired to their mobile device. The app consists of a grid of buttons, each of which corresponds to different audio elements. The app allows an individual user to play any audio part they choose, and change it as often as they like. Collectively, the participants will produce a crowd sourced musical arrangement within an immersive sonic environment.

We are encouraging people all over the world to participate in similar installations using the In Neutral app.  If you'd like use the app, you can download it here. Please contact info@neutralmusic.com for more info,  instructions and a passcode to access the app. 

Thank you!
