about

Original motion picture soundtrack for The Cinema Detective (2024), directed by Matt Barry. The film is a sequel to Forbidden Frames (2022), which was also a collaboration between Barry (director, star) and Cullen Gallagher (co-star, and composer). Forbidden Frames was a dystopic satire about a world in which cinema has been outlawed.

In The Cinema Detective, film fugitive Kevin Quartermain (Barry) is hired by The State to investigate mysterious driving footage. As part of his investigation, Kevin asks the help of Dr. George Kaplan, State Film Archivist (Gallagher), who has been turned into an AI machine.

Each song on the soundtrack is named after a film theorist/philosopher whose quote accompanies the music on-screen.

2024 is the 20th anniversary of Modern Silent Cinema, and The Cinema Detective is its 27th album.

Have only listened to the first three tracks so far. Somehow the indie/grunge/funereal/doom elements meld together well. Well worth a listen! 😁 Update - couldn't stop listening. No weak tracks. Music that won't stand still, but holds up well throughout. My favourite non-electronic release for some time. Thanks so much for the code! 😎 Rinchen Choesang
