Since Fantomas’ 2001 album The Director’s Cut, which consisted entirely of soundtrack covers, Mike Patton has shown an increasing affection for movie music. In 2008 and ’09, he scored A Perfect Place and Crank: High Voltage, and on last year’s Mondo Cane, he reworked the theme from Mario Bava’s 1968 film Danger Diabolik. Now he’s released The Solitude Of Prime Numbers, an album “inspired” by Paolo Giordano’s eccentric novel and the 2010 film, which Patton also scored.

The Solitude Of Prime Numbers is a coming-of-age story covering 24 years of two mostly static characters. They go to new schools, embark on new romances, and get new jobs, but at the core, they remain unable to grow as people, paralyzed by a noxious mix of childhood tragedy and mental illness.

It's a wrap! The Martin Gropius Bau is empty and the final pickups follow. This is a work in progress and readers are invited and welcome to contribute.
