‘Manhunt’ Composer Bryce Dessner on Scoring Abraham Lincoln’s Assassination With ‘Dark Twisted American Folk Music’
#Variety #News #BryceDessner #Manhunt
a few episodes in, the story is … well, better than the “reality” crap on free to air, … it’s mildly interesting, (ipads and search engines an essential part of any home viewing experience).
the lighting of each scene is dark, and i think i would have found living without electricity all day every day really tedious - especially stumbling around in the dark when one has reached the age of cataracts.
there is something strikingly casual about the violence of the racism in this story, slightly different from the usual “plantation porn”, so kudos for that (a bit like watching the Indian School storyline in #1923 which is really well done, but unpleasant to sit through, even from the comfort of my sheltered lounge chair)
mostly so far i’ve mostly been impressed by the theme song…
ang on, i sez to meself, int that the voice of danielle ponder, whose fantastic song “so long” is an essential addition to any decent playlist? (itself, incidentally, with an arrangement reminiscent of something from Portishead )- #ListeningTo
Lyrics
In the dark the devil runs, fast and coming
As the sun begins to rise, the truth is coming
Darkness gives way to light, no one can save you
I know you'll try to fight, who can you pray to
You can't keep running
You can't keep running...
Can you hear them calling now, the earth is shaking
All that you know is gone, the course is changing
We, the spirit of the fallen ones, our cries surround you
You coward in the dead of night, the truth will find you
You can't keep running
You can't keep running...
(The spirit of the ones we've lost)

Every time I take a selfie with the front facing camera, it seems fine when I'm lining up the shot in mirror mode, and then looks insanely weird when the photo is flipped.
I once looked at a similarly flipped photo of Abe Lincoln and there was a similar effect.
We of the asymmetrical visages, Abe and me.
Been watching #Manhunt, pretty good stuff. Always good to see Patton.
Got started on #Manhunt on Apple. One of my favorites stories in US history and the source book is very good. Tobias Mienes and all are great.
And Patton Oswalt is absolutely chewing the scenery in the best ways.
