Last May, Pitchfork announced that Brooklyn-based folk/electro/avant-garde singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens would score a movie in collaboration with Castanet's Raymond Raposa for the film Beyond This Place.
Now, the artist is scheduled to perform the soundtrack live at a screening of the film at Brooklyn Academy of Music. After having scored and created his own film piece, The BQE, Stevens is no stranger to composing for film and becoming in touch with visuals. In fact, his latest tour for Age of Adz (Steven's sixth studio album released this past October) featured a visual/light show that portrayed work by schizophrenic artist Royal Robertson around whom the album was based.
From Michigan and Illinoise beginnings, the classically trained composer continues to stretch boundaries and experiment with sounds.
