This first release from the Deeper Into Movies label is the score for Dasha Nekrasova’s notorious award-winning debut feature film ‘The Scary of Sixty-First’. The score meets at the confluence between the visceral electro-acoustic Giallo style and brooding acoustic drones, which feature his abstract and textural percussion playing he has explored in his solo music. All of this working together to evoke the very haunts of the film’s Uptown locations.

Speaking about the score Keszler said, “The score was built around the ‘pentagram melody’ as we called it, a seven-note symmetrical pattern that formed the sign found on the tarot card, a repeated motif of dread and premonition found in the film. In the Scary Theme and later in Tarot Theme three variations occur, where each tonal triangle is introduced individually, followed by it playing in counterpoint to each other to complete the symbol."

Nekrasova's work is a thriller centred on two young women who unknowingly move into a Manhattan apartment that used to belong to Jeffrey Epstein. The psychosexual drama is steeped in Giallo, with a touch of DePalma and Polanski. Premiering at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, it took home their prestigious ‘Best First Feature’ award.

Keszler other film work includes contributions to Daniel Lopatin's score for the Safdie Brother’s acclaimed, Uncut Gems, while his solo music has been released on LuckyMe, Empty Editions, ESP Disk and PAN. His album ‘Stadium’ released on Shelter Press was awarded Boomkat’s 2018 ‘Album Of The Year.’
