Clint Mansell Update

Posted by Michael Buell Jr Mar 29, 2007

He's a prolific one, that Clint Mansell. As soon as I added that blog entry about his new label, Vive La Revolucion, he has added more tracks to listen to on the label's Myspace page and also points to the short film In the Wall, for which he composed the score.

The two new tracks are from the short film, In the Wall. Both are short and sound like other pieces of Mansell's film work. "Main Theme Clint's Mix" sounds like... music from Clint Mansell that you would hear over some film's credits. Interesting, but nothing new. "Tick Tock" is suspenseful and probably serves its purpose in the film, but is a bit too ambient for general listening. The tracks are more of a teaser for the film than the soundtrack, but both are unmistakably Clint. You can see the trailer for In the Wall and find out more information at the In the Wall Myspace page.

In a Suicide Girls interview (adult link, you have been warned) Mansell told the story of how he became involved with the film project. Apparently, the film-makers contacted him on Myspace and kept bugging him until he agreed. So if your idol has a Myspace page, this is proof that relentless, obsessive emailing does work.
