Mutant, in association with Sony Masterworks, are proud to present the premiere physical release of Laura Karpman’s Academy AwardR Nominated score for the motion picture AMERICAN FICTION
A tremendous piece of film music, harkening back to a seemingly lost, jazzier era of scoring - Laura Karpman finds beauty in sadness, and poetry in the absurd, as she sonically navigates the world of author Thelonius ‘Monk’ Ellison. Cord Jefferson's debut feature tells the story of Monk's head-on collision with the expectations of him as a black writer, as his satirical and cynical invention of a nom de plume accidentally brings momentum to his career, all in the shadow of tremendous grief within his family. The subject matter requires an incredible balance of tone, which Karpman executes masterfully.
Available for the first time on any physical format, pressed on 140gm vinyl, with liner notes by composer Laura Karpman, and artwork by award winning illustrator Akiko Stehrenberger.

ローラ・カープマンがアカデミー賞Rにノミネートされた映画『アメリカン・フィクション』のスコアがアナログ盤でリリース！
トラックリストローラ・カープマンは、作家セロニアス・モンク・エリソンの世界を音でナビゲートしながら、悲しみに美を、不条理に詩を見出す。コード・ジェファーソンの長編デビュー作となる本作は、モンクが黒人作家としての期待に真っ向からぶつかり、風刺的でシニカルな名前の発明が偶然にも彼のキャリアに勢いをもたらすが、その陰には家族の大きな悲しみがあった。カープマンはこの題材を見事に表現している。
作曲家ローラ・カープマンによるライナーノーツ、受賞歴のあるイラストレーター、アキコ・シュテレンベルガーによるアートワーク付き。140g重量盤。限定盤。
