Product Description: The film is directed by Ian Bonhote (Alleycats) and centres on Alexander McQueen, the working-class boy who rose from Savile Row tailor's apprentice to become the most celebrated and controversial fashion designer in the world. Bonhote is also producing the project with Andee Ryder, Nick Taussig & Paul Van Carter (Churchill, My Name Is Lenny). McQueen will be broadcast in 150 cinemas nationwide and is promoted by Lionsgate. As soon as fellow directors Ian Bonh?te and Peter Ettedgui began to develop the story of Lee Alexander McQueen as a cinema documentary, it became clear to them there was only one composer for this fiilm. Michael Nyman's name kept cropping up as they researched Lee's life; colleagues and friends they interviewed recalled how long nights in his design studio were inevitably accompanied by CDs of Michael's music, in particular his score for 'The Piano' (Lee's favourite fiilm and soundtrack). They sourced the music from Michael Nyman's vast output on MN Records and the soundtrack to the film will be released on June 8, to coincide with the theatrical release of the film. Michael Nyman's music- and it's unique connection to Lee - was by their side throughout the edit, leading them, nudging them to explore the myriad emotions provoked by McQueen's remarkable story. From the raucous iconoclasm of Lee's early years, to the darker aspects of his character; from the celebration of his life to the tragedy of his death. The Track Dealing for the Sarabande, commissioned by Alexander McQueen in 2006, from Michael Nyman, receives it's premiere recording on this album.
