Just watched "3 Women" a 1977 film directed by Robert Altman, starring Shelley Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Janice Rule. I was blown away by the haunting score composed by Gerald Busby, a long time resident of the Chelsea Hotel, with whom I was unfamiliar. Prior to 3 Women, Busby composed the score for "Runes", a ballet commissioned for the Paul Taylor Dance Company and worked as an associate with Virgil Thomson during that composer's later years and was the subject of one of Virgil's "Portraits in Music." He is not credited to any other feature films.
Great film. Great score. Hope to play some of the music on the next show if I can track it down.
Random Trivia: The song from Broadcast "The Book Lovers" samples this soundtrack. The scene is after Pinky jumps into the pool and Millie is sitting in the apartment right before she discovers Pinky's parents hugging.
