Description
Known for his film work, including collaborations with David Lynch, Adamson brings his trademark blend of noir, jazz, funk and atmosphere to a score thats as evocative as the Scala itself.
The album captures the cinemas spirit: late nights, sticky floors, sleazy underground screenings and the
intoxicating world of subversive art. Across its 22 tracks, Adamson conjures moods that shift from brooding and cinematic to playful and chaotic, echoing the wild programming and cultural rebellion the Scala embodied.
The film, directed by Jane Giles and Ali Catterall, tells the story of the legendary Kings Cross repertory
cinema (1978-1993). Featuring interviews with staff, regulars and icons including John Waters, Mark Moore, Mary Harron, Isaac Julien and Ben Wheatley, alongside rare archival footage, it celebrates a venue
that became a crucible for counterculture, sexploitation, horror, kung-fu, LGBTQ+ cinema, live music and cult double bills.
Barry Adamsons original score plunges us into the underworld of late-night London – a vivid soundtrack to
underground cinema and cultural rebellion.
