When you listen to sonic landmarks in the ever-evolving sound of film soundtracks, the savage orchestral strains of Max Steiner’s “King Kong,” Alex North’s avant-garde jazz in “A Streetcar Named Desire” and the pop youthquake of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Graduate” songs stand out. But perhaps no relatively modern score has done more with a whisper to explosively influence the alt. rock-centric scores of today than when Cliff Martinez created the ethereal, experimental rhythms for Steven Soderbergh’s 1989 “Sex, Lies and Videotape”- the picture that launched the indie film movement and its much of its corresponding sound that’s developed into the high-tech tones of the likes of “The Social Network” and “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”
