@zuko Yup, +1 on both scores. Punch Drunk is one of my favorite movies. Also how cool would it be to get this score:
As with all of Anderson’s films, music plays a vital role in the aesthetic tone of PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE. "Paul makes movies with the music already fixed in his head – it’s a huge, integral part of his work," says Sellar. So integral to this project, in fact, that Anderson asked friend and frequent collaborator Jon Brion (Magnolia) to create a temporary score to be played on set during production. Explains the composer, "Paul suggested different tempos, then my engineer and I recorded a series of 10-minute ensemble percussion pieces that the actors listened to between takes to give them an idea of the scene’s rhythm." The temporary tracks were created using different drums, rare instruments and treated piano, a process developed by John Cage in which an object, such as a screw, is placed on or around a string to alter the vibration, duration and tonality.
