Directed by visionary Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, Solaris is far from the average sci-fi flick: it's a subtle, psychological film that contemplates grief and human memory over a slow-burning 165 minutes. It debuted at Cannes in 1972 and became a critical and commercial success, both in Europe and the USSR, and remains a cult classic today.
Frost and Bjarnason's score was originally commissioned for last year's Unsound Festival in Poland. The two artists are a likely choice for this kind of project: Frost is the noisy experimental producer behind 2009's By the Throat, and Bjarnason is a classical composer who has worked with Sigur Ros. The duo improvised while watching the film to come up with the basis for their score, then made the final product using recordings of harps, piano and a string orchestra as source material. Solaris will come out on Bedroom Community, the label Frost runs with Valgeir Sigurðsson and Nico Muhly.
