There was a burst of creativity that continues to this day because I took the last remaining guardrails off of what Id been willing to allow myself to do. Jeff Tweedy The same year of his Oscar®-nominated performance in Training Day, Ethan Hawke made his full-length film directorial debut with Chelsea Walls (starring Kris Kristofferson, Uma Thurman, Vincent DOnofrio, Robert Sean Leonard, and more). A fan of Wilco, Hawke approached Jeff Tweedy about scoring the film, and Tweedy agreed. Around this time, Tweedy had collaborated with musician and producer Jim ORourke (Sonic Youth, Stereolab) for a special live performance. As fate would have it, ORourke had been working with Glenn Kotche, and ORourke introducing Tweedy to Kotche would lay the groundwork for the trios work together on the debut album by their band, Loose Fur. Tweedy also asked Kotche to work with him on an improvised soundtrack to the movie he had agreed to score.
