Info: Projekt makes available two mixes of the Chronos soundtrack. This page is the remaster of Michael’s X-86 Stereo Ambisonic mix; this mix was originally used on the CD and LP at the time of the film’s release and is Michael’s favorite of Projekt’s two re-releases. For collectors, we’ve digitally released Michael’s 2012 stereo fold-down from the film’s 6 channel print master.

A soundtrack tuned to the timescales and rhythms of human life on earth

In Greek mythology “Chronos” is the personification of time. On composer and electronic musical visionary Michael Stearns’ 1985 album, Chronos serves as the tempo of a cascade of celestial movements, terrestrial sonic luminance, and morphic electronic harmonies.

Composed as the soundtrack for the IMAX film by cinematographer Ron Fricke (previously of Koyaanisqatsi), these 8 tracks combine to form a continuous 43-minute pandimensional experience, a sensual sound voyage with stops throughout the ancient and modern worlds.

Scored as the film was shot, Stearns’ Chronos leads us through earthbound and aerial spaces, the long plains, the cosmos, the big cities and the tracing of the spiritual and corporeal lights which inform each movement. The symphonic and majestic main theme in “Corridors of Time” hints at vast spaces and soulful longing flowing with cosmic poetry. The track reaches a powerful crescendo resolving in ghostly atmospheres, driving escalator steps and whispered voices. It returns half an hour later weaving into the themes of the swelling incandescent tapestry of the final two movements.
