Some words on this issue: TERRY RILEY: “Lifespan – Original Soundtrack Of Alexander Whitekaw’s Film – La Secret De La Vie” (Stip Records – STIP-1011) Original French pressing. “Le Secret De La Vie has recently been resuscitated on DVD, generating interest in part because the cast includes legendary German actor Klaus Kinski. "It's another suicide film," Riley points out with an ironic laugh. The twist in this tale is that the victim is a scientist who claims he has discovered the secret of eternal life. He takes his life while attending a conference in Amsterdam and the story then investigates that paradoxical action. "It has a strange cartoon like quality," Riley observes. "All the actors' voices are dubbed - even though they were speaking English. Sandy Whitelaw had worked previously as an engineer dubbing soundtracks and voiceovers. It was made on a low budget; he filmed scenes of ordinary people in Amsterdam... with Kinski wandering amongst them. "Riley flew from California to Holland to record the music for Whitelaw's film. As before he approached the project as essentially the making of a self-sufficient album - with more available studio time than he was accustomed to. Although his compositions were designed to enhance mood they were not tailored to the visual dimension in a narrowly programmatic way. The issued disc has six tracks, Riley playing keyboards and saxophone and singing too on the moody and mesmeric "In The Summer". (The Wire Issue 278 – Julian Cowley).
