Cut Narrative will release the original soundtrack for Rian Johnson’s sci-fi thriller Looper.

Looper starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano, Jeff Daniels, Noah Segan and Piper Perabo follows a mob hitman who is assigned to kill his own future self. For the score, Johnson gathered a wide range of field recordings and created a sort of playable, hybrid found-sound orchestra using those original recordings with his team. The results were combined with live strings and horns to produce deep textures featuring pitched industrial fans, tuned treadmills, and a wide range of intricate rhythmic elements.
