Stephan Mathieu – Before Nostromo

The sound design for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi / horror classic Alien (1979) has been an inspiration to many.

On Before Nostromo, Stephan Mathieu focuses on the crew, not on the spaceship.

Using piano, gongs, shortwave receiver, tapeloops and ‘entropic processes’, he re-creates the (soundtrack of the) dreams of the crew members just before they awake from hibernation.
