Tripping the Dark Fantastic

"While films are there, front and centre, to be seen, composers tend to exist in the shadows, providing a film’s emotive beats, backbone, and what veteran scorer Simon Boswell refers to as ‘conscience’, while themselves appearing on screen only as a credit." - ‎Anton Bitel

Showcasing a live performance in London and interviews with the directors he has collaborated with from over 35 years of scoring horror, fantasy and genre films, TRIPPING THE DARK FANTASTIC is a stunning record of musician Simon Boswell’s career. An exciting trip through such classics as PHENOMENA, DEMONS 2, STAGE FRIGHT, SANTA SANGRE, PERDITA DURANGO, LORD OF ILLUSIONS, SHALLOW GRAVE, HARDWARE and many others, peppered with interviews by the likes of directors Dario Argento, Alejandro Jodorowsky and pop-up appearances from a cast of characters as diverse as Dolly Parton, Iggy Pop and Ewan McGregor, the concert features Simon with his 12-piece band, Caduta Massi.

"I am a vector.
I am a line connecting dots.
Sometimes, a point I would like
to stick to."

"When a line spotting dot and a dot connecting line are falling in love, what is it called? It's a mathematical relationship in space to the vector go the spoils."
