RY COODER
PARIS, TEXAS (ost)
warner bros
ry cooder's score is a peaceful, poetic journey into the soul of an acoustic guitar.
suggestive of both the imagery of win wenders' movie & the desert itself, 'paris, texas', 'brothers' & 'nothing out there' open the album as meditative blends of guitar twang & scratching ambient effects. the songs move at a pretty, slow place, & the opening track sees cooder plucking his guitar's strings & letting that sound vibrate into thin air; it's a motif that he returns to repeatedly throughout the score. there's a bit of both humour & mystery to the stillness & the echoing, edgy sound effects that crop up. ‘cancion mixteca’ includes a memorable turn on vocals by harry dean stanton, singing in spanish.
