unit7 Hopping trains clearly has an addictive pull, and experiences beyond normal social boundaries a deeply felt transformative power. The ebb and flow of the score, peppered with track rumble and similarly conjured railside atmosphere, perfectly frames these women’s deftly articulate testaments to self-reliance, resourcefulness and determination in the face of discomfort and risk, delivered with artless poetry and, at times, fragility. The very essence of the film seems here distilled. Favorite track: Because I Was A Girl.

The Australian musician (Dirty Three, Bad Seeds, Grinderman) has scored a number of high-profile films (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Hell or High Water, The Road) and his latest score is for This Train I Ride, a documentary film directed by Arno Bitschy.

“…My idea was to record, collate and produce the music on trains, in the spirit of the women in this documentary. Brian was so encouraging with this approach and told me about a train journey he had taken in the 80’s with no fixed destination. Over the next month I sat with my computer, loops, iPhone, Reface DX synthesiser and forgotten ideas and composed the music on the Metro and Eurostar and in various hotels while working on Ghosteen. I would send the pieces to Arno from the train, or wherever I was located, and he edited them into the film.” - Warren Ellis

The film tells the story of women hopping freight trains around America. The film follows the life-journeys of these women living on the fringe in a rapidly changing country, in their quest for identity, freedom and finding their place in the world.

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce
