aj nutter - the birds (10inch vinyl)

---

Apparently AJ Nutter made The Birds as a soundtrack inspired by the Hitchcock film of the same name. I'd have to compare the music to the film to see how they gel, but musically there's plenty of variety to sift through -- scratchy dissonant strings, muted ambience, tense horror music, deep house-style dance tracks (not sure how those would fit in with Hitchcock). Taken as a stand alone album, The Birds is somewhat of a curiosity, clocking in at just under 23 minutes. Each track is like a brief preview of some larger, more satisfying masterwork. Movement is hinted at and tension is built only to be stripped down, which leaves you both a bit frustrated but also wanting more. Overall, this feels like an unfinished piece, but the musical glimpses we get are thoroughly interesting and engaging while they last. - Keith Rankin, Experimedia

Influenced by Alfred Hitchcock's film The Birds, I have created a musical composition that reflects my love for the film. I will produce a special limited edition vinyl released through the notorious artist collective, 16 Pound Rabbit containing the musical score. I have always been intrigued with Hitchcock's films, as he is the master of horror. His films are artistically rendered and adding a score would only enhance the disturbing and dismal qualities of the film. If you are a Hitchcock fan, a soundtrack enthusiast or can simply appreciate the artistic aspect of a project like this, please purchase a copy of The Birds.
