Turner Goes For Soundtracks
Frontman of the British rock band Arctic Monkeys Alex Turner has debuted as a solo artist and author of the music for movies. As ContactMusic.com said, a twenty four years old musician had written the soundtrack for the new movie called “Submarine”, which is now filmed by Richard Ayoade. Previously, he had produced a documentary about Arctic Monkeys – “At The Apollo”; it was totally the concert oriented film about their performances in the various places. Besides that, Ayoade is famous for participating in such series productions as “The Mighty Boosh” and The IT Crowd” and as the director of the music videos for Vampire Weekend. This talented actor and producer is most likely working with something pretty cool for Alex Turner, and surely he will make some kind of work which may not leave Turner’s fans unsatisfied. The soundtrack production (technical side) is lead by James Ford who was already co-operating with Arctic Monkey and Klaxons. The last studio album by Arctic Monkeys was released in August, 2009, and since then the band did not make anything creative, possibly because every member is planning his own solo career right now. Before 2009 Alex Turner was participating in The Last Shadow Puppets project together with The Rascals vocalist Miles Kane, in 2008 they’ve released a successful album “The Age of the Understatement”, but as Turner said, no more albums will be released in the near future.
