FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SCREAMWORKS RECORDS LATEST RELEASE IS THE MAN WHO COLLECTED FOOD
The New Division of Moviescore Media To Release Score by Daniel Alcheh
(June 27, 2011- New York, NY) –Screamworks Records, a division of Moviescore Media dedicated to releasing horror film music, is releasing Daniel Alcheh’s score for The Man Who Collected Food. The film has been widely recognized at such horror film festivals as Indy Horror Film Festival, Chicago Horror Film Festival, Eerie Horror Film Festival, and Phoenix Fearcon IV. Alcheh (East Fifth Bliss, Nowhere to Hide) composed the neo-Baroque score, which was performed by The Lyris Quartet.
Now Hollywood-based, Israeli-born Daniel Alcheh began playing the piano at age six and began to pursue the path of a composer by his teens. Fostered by the biggest names in Israeli contemporary music, he studied composition, conducting and orchestration. Alcheh became one of the youngest-ever members of the Israeli Composers League (the Israeli chapter of the ISCM) where he served as a board member and panel judge, and while still in his early 20s, was awarded the league's Klon Prize for Composition. He completed both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in composition at the music academy at Tel-Aviv University.
While still an undergraduate, Alcheh began scoring films and animation. In 2001, his professor Yosef Bardanashvili, one of Israel’s most renowned and prolific composers, would bring him aboard as a soundtrack producer for Dover Kosashvili's feature film Late Marriage the highest-grossing Israeli film of the decade, one of Entertainment Weekly's Ten Best Films of 2002 and Newsweek's Top 15 Films of 2002.
Alcheh most recently scored East Fifth Bliss starring Michael C. Hall, Lucy Liu, and Peter Fonda. The film headlined the 2011 Newport Beach Film festival. Other recent feature films and television programs include: the first 2 seasons of Iris Bahr's new comedy series, Svetlana; the thriller Nowhere to Hide, starring Meredith Monroe, Brian Dietzen and Brian Krause; the documentary feature Houston We Have A Problem. Daniel's music has been widely licensed and can often be heard on The National Geographic Channel, PBS, BET and The History Channel.
Miguel Appet (Mike N. Kelly) is a serious collector. He must have the color variants, the rarities, the 1950s originals: every food he can find--and keep--in mint condition. No one but his overbearing mother (Lila Miller) knows that his home, tucked in the quiet suburb of Cibuston, has become a massive museum to comestibles. His neighbors to the right, dad Horace and son Eustice (Russell Fox and Joey Urreta) don’t notice a thing as they plot their next deer hunt. His neighbor to the left, Kelvin Green (Gary J. Wagner), is too busy searching for the alien he’s sure attacked him once. And Miguel eats...people. He has to, since eating his precious food is not an option. However, being a cannibal is not as easy as it seems, especially when you have a food collection to take care of...
“The film is definitely a dark comedy,” said Alchech. “If you’re a fan of blood and guts, this is a horror film for you! – so even the comedic elements have some underlying edge to them, but in many scenes, while the visual and dialogue had the humorous twist, the music kept the serious tone underneath, and exactly that contrast added to the absurdist, gory, horror-comedy impact.”
The score is a two-part score – one-part neo-baroque and one-part traditional horror film music. “You have to give a big kudos to the director for coming up with the initial brilliant idea.”
Hrothgar Studios presents The Man Who Collected Food, available on DVD July 12th. The Man Who Collected Food (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), from Screamworks Records, will be available on June 28, 2011. Also available from Screamworks Records is Jeff Grace’s score for Stake Land, David Julyan’s Heartless and Nathaniel Levisay’s Dawning. Future releases will include The Shrine (Ryan Shore) and The Prestige (Conrad Pope).
