about

Both Ray Harryhausen's brilliant stop-motion work and Bernard Herrmann's impactful score for the Jason and the Argonauts film of 1963 left a powerful impression on me as a boy.

One part of the film that stayed with me was the skeleton fight. The sinister score and malevolent skeleton army (the children of the hydra's teeth) are burned into my brain forever.

At some point in 1997 I felt compelled to reproduce the music from the skeleton scene as a sort of techno track. (I was experimenting with making "vintage"-sounding soundtrack music at the time).

Friends that heard it didn't really know what to make of it.

And I recently discovered that Ray Harryhausen and Bernard Herrmann were both born on 29 June.

So I've decided to pull the track out of the archives and ready it for release on what would have been Ray Harryhausen's 100th birthday and Bernard Herrmann's 109th birthday, as my salute to their genius.

Feorm is what happens when five scattered musician friends descend on a dark, deserted Norfolk farmhouse with no preconceived ideas and just let the music happen. And yes, I am the synth guy in Feorm. P. G. Warren
