Don't overlook Brewer's fantastic new Shining soundtrack.

If you missed Corey J. Brewer's live score at Northwest Film Forum's Puget Soundtrack showing of The Shining Forward & Backward, you still can hear it, albeit sans imagery. Brewer recently uploaded the audio to Bandcamp under the title The Overlook Hotel. It's a great piece of disorienting, darker-than-midnight-at-the-North-Pole ambient/drones in the vein of '89s/'90s :zoviet*france: and foreboding industrial soundscaping à la Techno Animal and Scorn (see "Here's Johnny"). It's worth hearing, even divorced from its cinematic inspiration. One imagines that original film composers Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind would be impressed.
