Cronenberg.<\/p>\n<p>The film is about a hippie cult that transitions from psychedelic drug-influenced new age therapy to telepathic mind control. Its lysergic-drenched visuals get an equally trippy musical accompaniment. Like the late 1970s and early 1980s sci-fi horror visuals, the composer, Sinoia Caves, gives the movie an electronic score influenced by Giorgio Moroder, John Carpenter, Howard Shore and Tangerine Dream scores.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceNonEditable embeditem\" data-embed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=huZ-AiY4jnM\" data-embed-height=\"384\" data-embed-width=\"800\" data-embed-constrain=\"true\"><iframe id=\"386493449\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/huZ-AiY4jnM?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fnew-blog.artlist.io\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-1_19=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-2140032_148=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Like the\u00a0<em>Stranger Things<\/em>\u00a0score, Sinoia Caves&#8217;\u00a0<em>Beyond the Black Rainbow<\/em>\u00a0score resurrects retro synth sounds for the 21st-century electronic music age.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0077651\/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-anchor=\"?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\">Halloween<\/a>\u00a0(1978)<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mceNonEditable embeditem\" data-embed-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=T5ke9IPTIJQ\" data-embed-height=\"384\" data-embed-width=\"800\" data-embed-constrain=\"true\"><iframe id=\"537600743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T5ke9IPTIJQ?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fnew-blog.artlist.io\" width=\"683\" height=\"384\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-1_19=\"true\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-2140032_148=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Speaking of John Carpenter, would we be absolutely remiss if we didn&#8217;t mention the filmmaker&#8217;s genre-defining music score for the iconic horror film,\u00a0<em>Halloween<\/em>.

It sounds like a comedy, but it most definitely is not.<\/p>\n<p>Levi&#8217;s score is full of drones, atonal notes and chords and all manner of other unnerving sounds.
