Lustmord

***LUSTMORD’s soundtrack to the 1999 film Zoetrope. Zoetrope (1999) is an experimental avant-garde short film by music-video director Charlie Deaux. It presents a haunting, apocalyptic story of man’s metaphysical existence. Inspired by Franz Kafka’s story In the Penal Colony, the film is an attempt to transfer Kafka’s dark, nightmarish vision and gloomy atmosphere to celluloid. The film was shot by music-video cinematographer James Hawkinson. The 3D animation for the film was created by Robert Beebe. Shot on 35mm film on extremely smooth black-and-white stock, the film features dark and surreal visuals. This 18-minute work features a dark ambient soundscape by musician and sound designer Lustmord (aka BRIAN WILLIAMS) and was released on DVD in 2005 by Soleilmoon Recordings.
