A.

-shadowed noir reflecting the hypnagogic themes of Kramer’s film, ‘Paris Window’ unfolds between scenes of suspenseful romance, smoke-curling choral pads, and sparing eruptions of brittle bare bones percussion and abrasive digital noise that will turn your living/listening space into a far more cinematic place.

“Director Amanda Kramer’s prompts for composer Ben Babbitt’s soundtrack to her enigmatic film Paris Window read like magnetic fridge poetry – “warped ambient bumper muzak tension” – but the results skew closer to some hypnagogic contemporary noir: lulling, low-lit, and laced with lingering dread.

Electronics, strings, and percussion swoon and seethe in heady mirages of dreams and delirium, romance and menace.

The narrative it accompanies is equally opaque and out of time: two eccentric siblings psychologically unravel through divergent fixations, one obsessed with the hypnotic infomercials of a mysterious self-help institute while the other falls in love with an ambiguous doppelganger.
