A strange and desirable surface music song summarized in a key series of hunger games. The song “Sediment”, used with a wonderful effect, the movie “Cornucopia Scene” of the film, was composed in 1972 through the pioneer composer Laurie Spiegel, which used an analog synthesizer and band machines of the old school to create the nine -minute epic.

It is not the elegant type of music that you expect to seem in a Hollywood box office success that exceeds cash records worldwide.

“He didn’t have a multipist recording,” he said in a telephone interview with Wired. “I had to make the combination with two stereo coil terraces with a coil, and the only way to combine to play anything live, where a deck played audio while the other game recorded the other devicearray. You stacked the whistle and the noise for each generation you added. “

You will not locate “sediment” in the soundtrack of Hunger Games, which produces through T-Bone Burnett and made its debut on Wednesday at number 1 in the Billboard Top 200

But you can listen to Spiegel’s paintings in the intriguing sound design of the film. The mythical minimalist composer Steve Reich also seems in the Hunger Games, thanks to his game “Three Movements for Orchestra, MVT. 1”, as played through the Bas-Austrian Tonkünstler Orchestra. Remove more in Hunger’s hunger audio and locate portions of Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds and Chicago instrumentalists the hypnotic brass together.

Spiegel said that “sediments” had evolved, that you can listen to the previous video, the graphic role and a rule to spend time for diapers.

“People who are in love with the old analogue do not perceive what these are paintings with analog synthesizers before computers and before multitracks,” he said, laughing. The multitrack recording existed in 1972, but remains the province of the studies and the very rich.

When registering “sediments” in its construction apartment in Manhattan, Spiegel used an electrocomuntle electrocomunle of two hundred two hundred two hundred semi-modular. She remembers having to turn off her refrigerator to keep the analog synthesizer in phase.

> “I had to get out of the refrigerator, or ruin the capture. “

“It is a five bedroom apartment that operates in a 15 amps single fuse,” he said. “When the refrigerator continued, part of the oscillators fell a room of ton. I had to take out the refrigerator, or that would ruin the plug. “

From all the eclectic music of the hunger games, Spiegel’s “sediments” leave the left field. “I don’t know how everything happened,” said Spiegel, adding the 1975 album, the universe of expansion, deserves to be reissued in autumn. “I won an email from the Lionsgate films license team to ask if they can admit the synchronization rights of this work for the movie. I said, of course, that I should not continue with Hollywood movies or the main versions that are commonly made. “

However, he said he admired hunger games and his character, Katniss Everdeen.

“Recently there are some videos and television systems that, in fact, have had strong female protagonists, who are not only co -stars of a male hero,” Spiegel said. “We have not yet reached the point where we see that many female composers seem in loans of the soundtrack, but possibly change. “
