News: Brian Eno Composes Score for Peter Jackson’s New Movie
By Morelli
Brian Eno has reportedly signed on to do the score for the new Peter Jackson film, an adaptation of the Alice Sebold’s novel Lovely Bones, starring Mark Wahlberg, Rachel Weisz, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Michael Imperioli, and Saoirse Ronan.
The film is mostly set in heaven, so it’s plausible that Eno was brought on for those scenes, to provide his renowned expertise in creating sound environments.
Brian Eno, English musician, composer, record producer, music theorist and singer, is best known as the father of ambient music and a pioneer in sound sampling. Eno gained recognition in the early 1970s as the keyboard player of the glam rock band Roxy Music, and went on to collaborate with David Bowie, Paul Simon, U2 and many others.
Lovely Bones is slated for a December 11, 2009 release.
