Colin Stetson received a unique opportunity in scoring Richard Stanley's cinematic adaptation of H.P.
Lovecraft's story The Color Out of Space.
The saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist, sound designer, and composer was to create a "… sonic representation of a cosmic alien color that does not exist in this terrestrial reality." He delivered a wonderful soundtrack for Ari Aster's acclaimed 2018 horror film Hereditary, showcasing his unique approach to atmospheric tension in a studio to match the tension onscreen.
In the Lovecraft story, a meteorite strikes the rural Gardner farm.
The projectile poisons well water and destroys crops and animals.
The true weirdness, however, is how it attacks the minds, emotions, and eventually, the bodies of the Gardner family,
