Discrepant presents the LP edition of Tales from the Source, the original film soundtrack by Bear Bones, Lay Low, and Laszlo Umbreit. Originally composed for Belgian-Congolese artist Léonard Pongo's 2024 film of the same name, this release reworks the film's audio into a continuous, fluid listening experience. The album is built on a direct contrast between heavy electronic manipulation and raw environmental audio. Laszlo Umbreit captured the foundation of the record through field recordings and additional electronics, focusing on the quiet, tactile sounds of water, riverbeds, and natural spaces. These recordings were then processed and expanded by Bear Bones, Lay Low, who layered the tracks using synthesizers, samplers and various effects processors. Rather than acting as a standard background score, the music functions as a detailed piece of environmental sound art. The tracks are edited to blend into one another without distinct gaps, mirroring the slow pace and visual flow of the film. Through the use of tape loops, filtering, and electronic processing, the natural landscapes are systematically distorted and rearranged. The result is a dark, slow-moving suite of electroacoustic music that strips away traditional melody to focus entirely on texture, resonance, and the changing dynamics of the recorded environments.
