Another earth - musical saw scene | Scott Munson

Music I wrote for the Fox Search Light film "Another Earth" “..a heartbreaking solo with a bow and an old-fashioned handsaw becomes one of the most moving musical moments in memory.” LA Times “..the most resonant scene is the one…(with)…a musical saw. The eerily beautiful sounds cascade and twist though the air, sounding like the precise halfway point between the music of the spheres and a human sob.” The Boston Globe “In one of Mr. Mapother’s surprising turns, he plays a soul-filling solo on a musical saw.” Wall Street Journal “The movie includes a couple of unforgettable scenes. One takes place in a college classroom, where John plays a saw whose eerie spiritual sound evokes a Gregorian chant.” Bloomberg News “…an eerie, unearthly and beautiful melody…” MSN Movies “…a keening piece for musical saw.” Houston Chronicle “They…fall in love a bit hastily following a private concert in which John plays a piece on a musical saw for her. The melody he plays is eerily spot-on…” www.FilmCritic.com “… a stunning piece of music…” www.cine-vue.com
