Varese Sarabande Records has announced a soundtrack album for the non-verbal film Samsara. The release features the film’s music composed by Michael Stearns, Lisa Gerrard and Marcello De Francisci. The soundtrack will be released on August 21, 2012 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon. Samsara directed by Ron Fricke and produced by Mark Magidson (Baraka, Chronos) was filmed over a period of more than four years in twenty-five countries on five continents and uses 65mm cinematography to document sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial complexes and natural wonders as it explores the mundane and miraculous wonders of the world. The movie premiered at last year’s Toronto Film Festival and has been picked up by Oscilloscope Laboratories for a domestic release on August 24.
