Mike Patton's "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" Set For Prime Release Date

 

 

Mike Patton, moved by the Paolo Giordano novel "The Solitude of Prime Numbers" and having contributed music to the movie of the same name, has created a 16-track release that boasts some of the most contemplative and stirring music of his multi-faceted career with Patton describing the release as a personal "sonic departure." The album, titled Music From The Film and Inspired By the Book The Solitude of Prime Numbers (La Solitudine Dei Numeri Primi), has been set for a 11-1-11 release via Ipecac Recordings.

 

Where Patton's projects (Fantômas, Mondo Cane, Tomahawk) often thrive on abrupt transitions and multi-layered instrumentation, The Solitude of Prime Numbers collection boasts a cinematic feel that allows instruments an individual voice, emphasizes isolated notes and subtly transitions from piece to piece, acutely capturing the introspective and reflective feel of the novel. The album's intricate packaging further conveys this dramatic and minimalistic approach, with a multi-panel digipak featuring a leaf cut out, embossed with a locking mechanism.

 

The Solitude of Prime Numbers was released in 2008 and quickly became a national sensation in Italy where it sold over one million copies before it was translated into thirty languages worldwide. The novel tells the story of two individuals, Mattia and Alice, whose lives parallel each other in uncanny ways, like twin primes: both lonely but close to each other, separated by an even number. In 2010, a movie based upon the book, starring Isabella Rossellini and directed by Saverio Costanzo (Private, In Memory of Myself) was released.

 

Music From The Film and Inspired By The Book The Solitude of Prime Numbers (La Solitudine Dei Numeri Primi) features a unique arrangement with each track sequentially numbered with the first 16 prime numbers:

 

2. Twin Primes

3. Identity Matrix

5. Method of Infinite Descent

7. Contrapositive

11. Cicatrix

13. Abscissa

17. Isolated Primes

19. Radius of Convergence

23. Separatrix

29. The Snow Angel

31. Apnoea

37. Supersingular Primes

41. Quadratix

43. Calculus of Finite Differences

47. Zeroth

53. Weight of Consequences

kad smo pricali sa treyom nakon Secret Chiefs 3 svirke, rekao je da nije bas u najboljim odnosima sa Pattonom. Nije bila neka zestoka svadja u pitanju, ali valjda se nije zavrsilo sve kako je trebalo pa se ne cuju i ne druze vise vec dosta godina

Zvuci dobro, ali ako je sudeci po ovome nije nova.

 

MovieWeb: Are you going to play some of those "King For A Day" B-sides during this show? Or is it going to be straight through track one to "I'm Just A Man"?

 

Mike Patton: I think we are just going to do front to back. I think there maybe...We are doing a tune we've never done from that era. I guess that would be a B-side. I don't know if we released that at all...I don't know (laughs)!

 Ništa čudno, posmatrano iz ugla MTV publike... epski metal/rok bendovi su njima u najboljem slučaju one hit wunder inače hitless trash... u stvari, čudno mi je samo to što sam mislio da će biti u pitanju Easy, mislio sam da im je to mnogo poznatija pesma...
