Bleep

Dasha Nekrasova is never one to shy away from controversy. Between her work on the Red Scare podcast, and now her brash, grindhouse-indebted debut film The Scary of Sixty-First, dissension seems to follow her at every turn. As such, the electronic musician Eli Keszler meets Nekrasova’s vision perfectly with his chillingly retro (and wonderfully sleazy) score, the very first release for Deeper Into Movies Records. Keszler’s work here recalls the white knuckle tension of John Carpenter classics, while also nodding to the contemporary works of colleagues like Oneohtrix Point Never, with whom he has already collaborated. Keszler stresses the importance of a particular seven-note symmetrical pattern as a key repeated motif that ties his work to the unrelenting dread of the film.
