Bleep

Emma Tammi’s 2018 film The Wind melds the horror and western genre to tell a tale of isolation and madness on the frontier. The plains-woman protagonist’s slow descent into hysteria couldn’t have sounded so compelling without the aid of the modern king of suspense, Ben Lovett. Tammi’s desolate landscape and chilling atmospheres take shape via Lovett’s searching string work, developing on hauntingly minimal forms with undercurrents of sheer, dissonant terror.
