In his debut film TARNATION,
director Jonathan Caouette paired dazzling visual
storytelling with an inspired mix of music from artists
such as Low, Iron & Wine, Lisa Germano, Magnetic
Fields, and Red House Painters. Tying it all together are
original instrumental pieces written and performed by
songwriter Max Avery
Lichtenstein.
In October of 2004, after
countless requests from eager listeners, Tin Drum
Recordings made an MP3 of the theme song from the film
available to visitors under the Creative Commons license,
and the response was overwhelming... since then the song
has racked up well over 100,000 free downloads from this
site.
The Tarnation
theme song has subsequently been featured in several other
feature films and major advertising campaigns (including
spots for Impulse
Body Spray in the
UK, ONCE Rasca
de Navidad in
Spain and Three
Mobile in Italy).
Feel free to download the MP3
single for
yourself and share it with your friends. If you like it,
