Description
Nicholas Britell achieved his Academy Award-nominated score by weaving orchestral elements with Southern rap, specifically Houstons well-documented chopped and screwed sound, where records are slowed down and cut to shreds, repurposing the music for alternative listening situations.
In writing the music for Moonlight there were two distinct phases of the writing process. Britell would write music that inspired him from the early cuts of the film and his discussions with Jenkins; afterwards, Britell would begin to experiment with chopping and screwing his own recordings.
We didnt take the hood to the arthouse, took the arthouse to the hood, said the films director Barry Jenks. Nicks compositions pulse and rumble, creating a feeling in ones chest that reminds me of the trunk rattling music of home.
Moonlight won a Golden Globe for Best Picture and eight Academy Awards wins and nominations including Best Score and Best Picture.
LP pressed on heavyweight Moonlight 180g coloured vinyl and housed in an extra thick 425g deluxe spined sleeve.
