In collaboration with Milan Records and Sony Music, Waxwork Records is proud to present the premier vinyl release of BUGONIA Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Jerskin Fendrix. The album is the latest in an ongoing creative partnership between Fendrix and Bugonia director Yorgos Lanthimos following their work together on the director's previous two films, POOR THINGS and KINDS OF KINDNESS. For Bugonia, Fendrix has crafted a soundscape brimming with sweeping strings, bold brass, thundering percussion and dramatic crescendos, culminating in a grandiose and, at times, bombastic sonic companion to the high-stakes mission at the heart of the film from Focus Features.
Waxwork Records presents the deluxe vinyl release of BUGONIA Original Motion Picture Sountrack by Jerskin Fendrix on 180-Gram Black, old-style tip on gatefold jackets with built in pages, artwork and design by Vasilis Marmatakis, and inserted newsprint posters.
Similar to their workflow on Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness, Fendrix and Lanthimos began their third collaboration prior to the film's production, with Fendrix recording much of the music based solely on conversations with the director as a guide. "For Bugonia, Yorgos did not allow me to see the script, or know anything about the film apart from the three words 'Bees,' 'Basement' & 'Spaceship,'" recalls Fendrix of the process. "All of the music is derived from my research on these three areas and seeing how much connective tissue they might have, mainly in a structural/systemic/geometric sense and in regard to some ideas about altitudes.
"Decided early on, however, was the idea to utilize a symphony orchestra throughout the score, prompting a two-day recording session with the London Contemporary Orchestra at the legendary Air Studios with Fendrix conducting. "It was a 90-piece orchestra in one room, which is a very big sound," Fendrix says. "And they're up for playing around, they're up for experimenting, they're up for embarrassing themselves musically, which not a lot of orchestras are. So being able to play with an orchestra that has that standard, but also that flexibility, which I was able to draw some more unusual, more provocative sounds out of, was an absolute joy."

イェルスキン・フェンドリックスによる『BUGONIA』オリジナル・サウンドトラックが初ヴァイナル盤リリース！本作は、フェンドリックスとヨルゴス・ランティモス監督が、監督の前作『哀れなるものたち』および『憐れみの３章』に続くクリエイティブ・パートナーシップの最新作です。『BUGONIA』においてフェンドリックスは、壮大な弦楽、力強い金管、轟く打楽器、劇的なクレッシェンドが満ち溢れるサウンドスケープを構築。フォーカス・フィーチャーズ製作の本作が描き出す命懸けのミッションに相応しい、壮麗にして時に豪快な音響的伴奏を完成させています。
トラックリスト180g重量盤・ブラック盤、旧式ティップオン・ゲートフォールド・ジャケット（内ページ付き）、ヴァシリス・マルマタキスによるアートワーク＆デザイン、新聞紙風ポスターを封入。
フェンドリックスとランティモスは、『哀れなるものたち』や『憐れみの３章』と同様のワークフローで、3度目の共同作業を製作前に開始した。フェンドリックスは監督との会話だけを指針に、音楽の大部分を録音したのである。「『BUGONIA』では、ヨルゴスは私に脚本を見せず、“蜂”“地下室”“宇宙船”という3つの言葉以外、映画に関する一切を知らせませんでした」とフェンドリックスは制作過程を振り返る。「全ての音楽は、この3つの領域に関する私の研究と、主に構造的／体系的／幾何学的な観点、そして高度に関するいくつかのアイデアにおいて、それらにどれほどの関連性があるかを考察することから導き出されました。
しかし早い段階で決めたのは、スコア全体に交響楽団を活用するという構想だった。これにより伝説のエア・スタジオでロンドン・コンテンポラリー・オーケストラをフェンドリックス自らが指揮する2日間の録音セッションが実現した。「90人編成のオーケストラが一室に集結した。非常に大きな音だった」とフェンドリックスは語る。「彼らは遊び心を持って演奏し、実験を厭わず、音楽的に自らを恥じることも厭わない。そんなオーケストラは多くない。この水準を持ちながら柔軟性も兼ね備えたオーケストラと共演でき、そこからより異質で挑発的な音を引き出せたことは、まさに至福の喜びだった」
