I was just wondering if anyone has any Edward Artemiev. He is a Russian pioneer of electroacoustic music during the Soviet era and did the sound tracks for Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972), Mirror (1974), and Stalker (1979). I love the movies and would like to hear more of his stuff. If you own some, have any copies, or know of any sounds on the web of his stuff, please give me a holler off the list.
You can get all of those soundtracks on Soulseek. I say this on-list because Edward Artemiev is to dark and formless ambient what Raymond Scott is to techno--a unsung pioneer. Anything he was writing in the 1970s for movies easily gives more recent artists a good run for their money. More people really should know about him. Kwook www.kwookyworld.com
