Coming Soon!
The film Song Of Salt is a road movie of sorts…a static take on a desert town lost in time, abandoned, and yet still occupied…burnt by the sun, forever etched by dust…
“Set in an isolated mining town on the outskirts of Death Valley, Song of Salt is an immersive glimpse into the struggles and celebrations within a tight-knit community as its residents, suspended between the past and the future, face the present realities of an eroding economy.
A microcosm of contemporary American rurality, Trona, California demonstrates the complexities, hardships, and small beauties that are revealed when we look beyond prevailing stereotypes. Oscillating between dramatic stillness and wild freedom, patient observation and intimate immersion, the film goes on an engaging and dignified exploration of what it means to be both forgotten and free.”
The soundtrack by Nicolas Snyder perfectly suits the lonely and isolated reality of the desert town of Trona, California. This melancholic mix of plaintive guitar work, cello, hand instruments and chimes, field recordings, and appropriate industrial electronic treatments, all lead to an overall feeling of a pastoral American spiritualism, with a primal edge shining through. With brief interspersions of dialog and liturgical referencing, the album moves from moments of a lovely desolate reverie, to those of an almost shamanic intensity as the pounding drums carry for miles in the desert air, and the lonesome guitar carries even further…
