Salero

Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie, the creative force behind A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Stars Of The Lid, is to officially release his score for the non-fiction film Salero on November 11th. Having channelled some of the most iconic drift music of our time through A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Stars of the Lid, 2016 has already seen Erased Tapes luminary Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie provide original scores for a number of feature films including Jalil Lespert s Iris and The Yellow Birds by Alexandre Moors. It s on Salero however, that we see Wiltzie weave some of his finest work and deliver an expertly distilled accompaniment to director Mike Plunkett s sprawling, uncompromising visuals. Set in Bolivia s Salar de Uyuni, the world s largest salt flat, the narrative follows the region s Saleros those who have for generations gathered salt and earned enough to somehow carve out an existence in such a barren landscape. It s with the discovery of huge Lithium reserves a mineral used frequently throughout the tech industry under the scorched earth that acts as a catalyst for exploitation of the environment and its people; holding a microscope to the drastic effect industrialisation has on local culture and tradition. CD, standard black vinyl, indie only clear vinyl and digital are all being released on 11/11/16.
