non-descriptive fear, panic, especially for last night, in the slightest way, and then re-examining that. The Trip references ‘moments of drama’? What are those typically? There was lots of use of faces. And the drama, and the face expressions, and it was quite easy… not easy, but easier. well, it was a black and white film, my copy was very grainy and bad quality, and I could very easily imitate what I’d seen… so a lot of the music was very similar to this grainy, grey area…. So I just wanted to make something that was an example for the music we know and deal with, up against a movie. So I went home and bought a DVD out of the store, and illegally copied it, and then began to compose a soundtrack for the film, and then edited the film down to the length of the soundtrack…. So I decided I’m going to try and do something…. We just need to see what would happen if there was something we could use at a reference. And it got to a point where I just thought somebody has to do something.
JEFF MILLS AND THEN THERE WAS LIGHT MOVIE
And we were discussing why we don’t hear electronic music in cinema, even if it’s a movie about science fiction, or space travel, you just hear classical as a standard. Well, it came from a few conversations with people in Berlin. I’ve tried over many years to do it in many contexts, and it’s hard to balance out. It’s really hard to do, actually, because in that kind of setting it’s very dark, you really don’t have that much control over people. Yes, there has to be a balance between making it enjoyable and also trying to show…. Your performance last night still had the intensity of a rave. And that was really the beginning of this period. Jeff Mills: Well, around 2000, people were very fearful, there was Y2K, the world’s about to come to an end, and this whole kind of what-if kind of scenario, so I made an album based on that.
