Upcoming Soundtrack: Blindness Soundtrack by Uakti


Blindness

Press Release

MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE BLINDNESS
STARRING JULIANNE MOORE AND MARK RUFFALO
TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 30 ON DECCA

** FEATURING AN ORIGINAL SCORE BY ACCLAIMED BRAZILIAN INSTRUMENTAL GROUP UAKTI **


(New York, NY) - Decca will release the soundtrack for the new film Blindness starring four time Academy Award® nominee Julianne Moore ("Far From Heaven," "The Hours") and Mark Ruffalo ("Zodiac," "Reservation Road"). The film is based on the internationally best selling novel of the same name by Nobel Prize® winner Jose Saramago and features Danny Glover ("Dreamgirls," "The Color Purple") and Golden Globe®-winner Sandra Oh of "Grey's Anatomy".

UAKTI, a Brazilian instrumental quintet formed in 1979, and heard on Paul Simon's album The Rhythm of The Saints, provide the evocative score. They are known for using custom made instruments, built by themselves, which lends a great deal of personality to the group's minimalist musical style. Of these, marimbas and string instruments are prominently featured throughout the soundtrack and are used to create a simple, eerie theme that lingers through most of the tracks. Uakti's album Aguas Da Amazonia has scanned over 25,000 units in the United States alone and the quintet has an even greater following internationally.

Academy Award® nominated director Fernando Meirelles ("The Constant Gardener," "City of God") brings the compelling story of humanity in the grip of an epidemic of mysterious blindness to life. The journey shines a light on the dangerous fragility of society and the exhilarating spirit of humanity. The screenplay is by Tony Award®-winner Don McKellar and recently debuted to critical acclaim at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Blindness opened the Toronto Film Festival in September and will show on screens nationwide beginning October 3rd, 2008.
