[QD-4245] :Acid42 : Nykto: Original Soundtrack

Nykto by Acid42, is a series of tunes which comprise the original soundtrack to the 12-minute independent short film of the same title, directed by Elvert dela Cruz Bañares, which in turn, was loosely based on a poem entitled "Darkness" by Arris Rivera.

The music is a mix of ethnic and electronic, dark and light melodies, silence and rhythm, meandering into hope and fulfillment, as eventually all darkness must pass.

The music was created by Acid42 (Lionel Valdellon) without having seen or known anything about the film except for a brief conceptual phrase: darkness to light. The album also includes remixes by Bleedingboy Soundtrack and Emorej, two more Philippine electronica musicians.

Comparisons: less morose than Morricone, world-y like Peter Gabriel, more alive than Dead Can Dance.

Details: 7 mp3s, encoded at CBR and VBR (192 kbps quality), 44.1 khz stereo.

Released: July 5, 2007.
