Listening to a movie soundtrack on its own isn’t meant to be an active experience—rather, at their best, soundtracks are immersive, aural pathways into another place and time. Fêted minimalist composer Jozef van Wissem understands this principle, and makes full of use of it on his collaborative effort with director Domingo Garcia-Huidobro of Föllakzoid. The original sound recording for Garcia-Huidobro’s critically acclaimed 2012 avantgarde paranormal odyssey, Partir to Live, was composed solely by van Wissem, and screenings of the film across the world have been accompanied by a live performance of the score by van Wissem and Garcia-Huidobro.
