Eyes Wide Shut: Music From The Motion Picture

by: Various Artists - Soundtracks, Jocelyn Pook

Release Date July 13, 1999
The last movie by Stanley Kubrick enjoys a most wonderful soundtrack. Once again, as he did it with BARRY LYNDON, 2001, LOLITA and many others, Kubrick's perfectionism reaches even the music chosen for his stories. It mixes several styles of music and reminds you of the atmospheric and disturbing production. A unique classic, undoubtedly.

Flood

by: Jocelyn Pook

Release Date September 06, 1999
When I listen to that record, my mind fills with fleeting images of waterfalls and when I open my eyes, the walls are breatching ;-} I bought it after watching Eyes Wide Shut with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman (Stanley Cubrick film). The best compositions are the Masked Ball and Forever Without End, IMO.

The Merchant Of Venice

by: Jocelyn Pook, Andreas Scholl

Release Date January 11, 2005
What a beautiful collection of music from the movie, "The Merchant of Venice". It is the first CD I listen to each time I get into my car. Every track is unbelievably moving, from the Jewish songs to the mid-evil voices and strings. Some are haunting and others, uplifting...always leaves me wanting more of the same.This music is great for meditation or will calm you in rush hour traffic. The lyrics are exceptional and are written by John milton, William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Luys de Narvaez and Clara Sanabras.

Untold Things

by: Jocelyn Pook

Release Date March 27, 2001
Whimsical, pensive and kissed by a variety of world music samples, Jocelyn Pook's style in this recording reminds me a little of Deep Forest without the programmed beats. As with all her music that I'm familiar with, the tone of "Untold Things" is minor and distinctly laid back, yet pregnant with carefully patterned intent. This isn't mindless, repetitive filler, but intelligently crafted modern chamber music tinged with elements of New Age fusion. It could perhaps do with a little more livening up now and then, as in the intense and interesting track #5, "Take Off Your Veil" and the fun, drummy "Calls, Cries and Clamours," but overall, "Untold Things" provides an intriguing and satisfying listening experience. My favorite pieces are the poignant ... Read More:

Deluge

by: Pook Jocelyn

Release Date February 21, 1997
"Deluge" contains the music written by Jocelyn Pook for a performance by a Canadian dance company, designed to "[link] up the two millenia - the year 1000 and the year 2000 - by means of myth, legends and fears about the end of the world." She "wanted the music to embody ideas and influences from both these ages, and to draw upon cultures as diverse as Hinduism and Christianity, Judaism and Islam." The result is a broody, eclectic and at times minimalistic fusion of medieval chant motifs, lush modern harmonies, childlike lead vocals, traditionally nasal world folksongs and chamber-style strings that alternately drone menacingly and pulse like heartbeats. It's an interesting and effective mood, though a bit laid back for a depiction of the end of the world. But to listen ... Read More:
