EDWARD ARTEMIEV

"SOLARIS, THE MIRROR, STALKER"

Electroshock Records

The re-release of this classic of electronic music is a true event. Russian composer Edward Artemyev, a pioneer among pioneers and a giant of the musical avantgarde far longer than the creativity of many composers tends to last, composed three memorable soundtracks for equally legendary movies: "Solaris" (1972), "The Mirror" (1975) and "Stalker" (1979). In them he set all his imagination to weave sound universes as disquieting as the plots of these films. Science-fiction in the most remote, most mysterious, most dreadful and at the same time most attractive of its shores, resides in all its splendor within this collection of tracks, complemented with a theme composed by Edward Artemiev in 1989 as a homage to movie-maker Andrei Tarkovsky, deceased in 1986, for whom he wrote the movie soundtracks gathered in this CD.
