Pinion – Mike Patton Agrees to Score Independent Film
Mike Patton has agreed to compose the score for the independent film, PINION. The director/writer, Melanie Lee, chose Patton because she felt that he had a commanding capability to make an intense soundscape to compliment her visuals. This is Patton’s first score composition for an American film.
Mike Patton was made famous for his irreverent frontman responsibilities for FAITH NO MORE, MR. BUNGLE, and recently, the very complex and experimental FANTOMAS. Patton’s versatility and ingenuity has allowed him to work with the likes of John Zorn, Burt Bacharach, Ikue Mori, and Bjork. Patton was chosen for his ability to produce layered and eerie atmospheres, coupled with his comfort level with the film making process. Though this is Patton’s first score composition, he is no stranger to movies. Patton has just completed production in Steve Balderson’s film FIRECRACKER playing not one, but two lead roles.
PINION is set to begin production in fall of 2005 and will star award winning actor Peter Greene (PULP FICTION, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, TRAINING DAY, THE RICH MAN’S WIFE).
