In 2002 I made a score to a film by Ozu called I Was Born, But... for the Bath Film Festival. It was premiered with a live ensemble (the New Music Players plus the Fell Clarinet Quartet) in the Assembly Rooms in Bath in the Festival that year. In 2005 it had a revival in a 'touring' ensemble form (flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, percussion). A crack team from the New Music Players recorded the 2005 version last Summer, and this has just come out on the BFI label, supporting a blu-ray release of Ozu's later sound film, Good Morning. I added one sound effect to my I Was Born, But... score in 'post-production' - a passing train - to register aurally a visual pattern which runs through the film. The BFI release is here.
