‘BLANCK MASS PRESENTS… THE STRANGE COLOUR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS’ RE-SCORE 

over the past 6 months or so I devised and undertook a project (commissioned by East End Film Festival) in which I chose several artists to collectively re-score the contemporary Belgian Horror movie ’The Strange Colour Of Your Body’s Tears’. The soundtrack has now been released by DEATH WALTZ RECORDS and is avaliable to buy on double vinyl 12" HERE. Here’s a little from the press release to explain the project in more detail:

“Death Waltz Originals are proud to present a spectacular new record curated by Blanck Mass & commissioned exclusively by the East End Film Festival, an alternative score to the 2013 film THE STRANGE COLOUR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS, directed by Bruno Forzani and Héléne Catet. A full-on homage to the Italian giallo films from Mario Bava and Dario Argento, the original release had no original score and instead used music from existing giallo films. Edinburgh musician Ben Power (Blanck Mass, Fuck Buttons) devised to use this as a stage for experimentation and collaboration with several artists from across the globe.

Each artist was given a scene to work with and was given complete free reign to restore the scene how they wanted to, without any knowledge of what was planned for the film by other musicians. Contributions came from Stockholm’s Roll The Dice, London’s Helm, Moon Gangs and Phil Julian, Glasgow’s Konx-Om-Pax, and New York’s C. Spencer Yeh, as well as Blanck Mass. The end result is a fascinating score that enthralls, seduces and terrifies in equal measures. Due to be performed live later in 2015, THE STRANGE COLOR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS re-score is a testament to the quality of alternative artists working today, as well as evidence of the ongoing inspiration that Italian horror continues to supply to contemporary art.”

JOHN CARPENTER’S ‘FALLEN’ (BLANCK MASS REMIX) GETS A PHYSICAL RELEASE

Earlier this year when JOHN CARPENTER released his new LP ‘Lost Themes’ I was one of the lucky few chosen to work on a remix of one of the tracks. Initially, the remixes were digital only bonus material. SACRED BONES have now decided to release the Carpenter remixes on physical format, which is amazing news. The 12” is available 16th October 2015, and can be pre-ordered HERE

If you missed my remix of ‘Fallen’ first time around, hear it now -
