Burial submitted soundtrack for new Harmony Korine film via PS5

Burial submitted his soundtrack for Harmony Korine’s new film Baby Invasion via PS5, the director has revealed.

During a recent press conference, Variety asked the cult filmmaker how the electronic musician and producer (real name William Emmanuel Bevan) ended up working on his experimental thriller.

Korine didn’t disclose many details about the collaboration out of “respect” for Burial. However, he did tell the outlet that the pair had never actually met or even spoken to each other.

“I mean, Burial’s amazing. He’s a legend. We got in touch with each other, but I never actually met Burial and I never actually spoke with Burial,” recalled Korine (Spring Breakers, Kid).

As for how he heard and talked about the original score with Burial, he continued: “So it was all done through Discord messages, and we’d kind of talk on PS5. And then the music was sent through PS5.”

Baby Invasion premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival last Saturday (August 31).

An official synopsis reads: “An ultra-realistic, multiplayer FPS game follows a group of mercenaries using baby faces as avatars. Tasked with entering mansions of the rich and powerful, players must explore every rabbit hole before time runs out.”

Speaking about a planned wider release for the movie – which follows last year’s Aggro Dr1ft – Korine said: “When we release the film, there’ll be a way to watch it through your phone, but there’ll be certain codes within the movie that’ll take you to other movies.

“So the film, what you’re seeing, is just a base layer film. There’ll be three or four other sub films.”

Earlier this year saw Burial share the singles  ‘Dreamfear’ and ‘Boy Sent From Above’, marking his first releases on XL Recordings. He also dropped a joint EP with Kode9, ‘Phoneglow / Eyes Go Blank’, on Hyperdub.
