Bebe Barron (June 16, 1925 – April 20, 2008) and Louis Barron (April 23, 1920 – November 1, 1989)

were two American pioneers in the field of electronic music.

They are credited with writing the first electronic music for magnetic tape,

and the first entirely electronic film score for the MGM movie Forbidden Planet (1956).
The couple married in 1947 and moved to New York City.
The first electronic music for magnetic tape composed in America

was completed by Louis and Bebe in 1950 and was titled Heavenly Menagerie.
MGM producer Dore Schary discovered the couple and hired them on the spot

to compose the musical score for Forbidden Planet.
The Barrons' electronic composition is credited with being the first completely electronic film score, 

preceding the invention of the Moog synthesizer by eight years (1964).
Using ideas from the book Cybernetics: Or Control And Communication In The Animal And The Machine (1948)

by the mathematician and electrical engineer Norbert Wiener,

Louis Barron constructed his own electronic circuits that he used to generate the score's "bleeps, hums and screeches". Most of these sounds were generated using an electronic circuit called a "ring modulator".

After recording the basic sounds, the Barrons further manipulated the sounds by adding other effects, 

such as reverberation and delay, and reversing or changing the speeds of certain sounds.
Since Bebe and Louis Barron did not belong to the Musicians Union,

their work could not be considered for an Academy Award, in either the "soundtrack" or the "sound effects" categories.

MGM declined to publish a soundtrack album at the time that Forbidden Planet was released.
However, film composer and conductor David Rose later published a 7" single of his original main title theme

that he had recorded at the MGM Studios in Culver City during March 1956.

His main title theme had been discarded when Rose, who had originally been hired to compose the musical score in 1955, was discharged from the project by Dore Schary.
The Barrons finally released their soundtrack in 1976 as an LP album for the film's 20th anniversary,

on their own Planet Records label (later changed to Small Planet Records and distributed by GNP Crescendo Records).

The LP was premiered at MidAmeriCon, the 34th World Science Fiction Convention, held in Kansas City,

as part of a 20th Anniversary celebration of Forbidden Planet.
The Barrons were there promoting their album's first release, signing all the copies sold at the convention.
A decade later, in 1986, their soundtrack was released on a music CD for the film's 30th Anniversary, 

with a six-page color booklet containing images from Forbidden Planet,

plus liner notes from the composers, Bebe and Louis Barron, and Bill Malone.

Jääportit ‎– Kauan Koskematon (1999)

Country: Finland

Tracklist

1. Askeleet Valottomuuteen 05:42

Jääportit was started by Tuomas M. Mäkelä as his solo project in the northern parts of Finland in 1997.
First demo “Halki Lumisen Metsän” was self-published in 1998 as a limited to 50 handmade CDR's.
In 1999 the limited to 500 copies cassette album “Kauan koskematon” was released by the Finnish label Noitavasara, introducing the music style of Jääportit, creating dreamy synth/ambient/neo classical, in the vein of Mortiis and Arcana.
This release also featured artwork cover done by Aslak Tolonen from the Finnish band Nest.
Next album “Uumenissa” (Firebox Records, 2004) contained dreamful frostbitten ambient music, 

painted with soothing electronic synthwaves, atmospheric and cosmic sounds.
The 3rd full-length Jääportit album “Avarrus” (Epidemie Records, 2006) kept on the line of musical experiments 

as it had more rhythmic elements, electronic beats and percussion, than the earlier releases.  
Jääportit released its 4th full-length album entitled “Voimasuo” in 2009 as a CD Digipak by Epidemie Records.

This wide-ranging album introduced another metamorphosis of Jääportit 

as combination of ambient electronica with the touch of frosty post-rock flavours.
The latest fifth full-length Jääportit album titled as “Jääportit” was released in 2018.
For this album, Tuomas created everything by himself from composing music to designing album covers,
so as to maintain the aspect of loneliness and diy-spirit as it was back in 1997, when he started this project.

Only now guitar was more involved than before and all songs were built around guitar riffs.

Sound is less “dungeon synth” and more “post-rock” in a way.
Also in 2018 the Ukrainian label Old Captain released the "Halki Lumisen Metsän" and "Kauan Koskematon" records 

for the first time on a compilation CD as a 6-panel matte-laminated Digipak, limited to 300 copies.

Coil – Hellraiser Themes (MCD 1990)

Country: England

Tracklist

1. Hellraiser Theme 02:49
2. The Hellbound Heart 02:21
3. Box Theme 03:04

Coil were an English experimental music group, founded in 1982 by John Balance in London.
Initially envisioned as a solo project by lead singer and songwriter Balance (born Geoffrey Burton) 
while he was in the band Psychic TV, Coil evolved into a full-time project with the addition of Peter Christopherson,
a former member of pioneering industrial group Throbbing Gristle who became Balance's creative and personal partner.
Throughout the group's existence, Balance and Christopherson were the only constant members.
Coil worked in such genres as industrial, noise, ambient and dark ambient, neo-folk, spoken word, drone, and minimalism, treating their works more as magical rituals than as musical pieces
and becoming the forefront of European experimentalism and electronic music.
In 1985, the group began working on a series of soundtracks, among them music for the first Hellraiser movie
based on the novel The Hellbound Heart by their acquaintance at that time, Clive Barker.
Unfortunately Coil withdrew from the project when they suspected their music would not be used
as the production company wanted a more commercial soundtrack and Christopher Young was their man of choice.
Furthermore, Coil claimed inspiration for Pinhead was partly drawn from the PFIQ (Piercing Fans International Quarterly) magazines that director Barker borrowed from the group.
In 1987 the 10'' EP "The Unreleased Themes For Hellraiser" (subtitled "The Consequences Of Raising Hell") was released
with printed notes on sleeve by Clive Barker stating:
"The only group I've heard on disc, whose records I've taken off because they made my bowels churn."
The CD edition entitled "Hellraiser Themes" was released later in 1990 and featured three extra unreleased tracks.
With the passing of Balance on 13 November 2004 Christopherson decided that Coil would not continue.
Six years later Christopherson died in his sleep on 24 November 2010 in Bangkok, Thailand.
