Product Notes
Jocelyn Pook's Flood features the composer/pianist's diverse approach to her craft, ranging from medievally-inspired pieces to more modern-sounding works. Two of the pieces on Flood, which was released in 1997 in the U.K. as Deluge, were used in Stanley Kubrick's final film Eyes Wide Shut: "Migrations" and "Masked Ball," (the latter was featured in the movie's controversial private party sequence). Tracks like "Oppenheimer" and "Goya's Nightmare" have a similarly brooding, mysterious tone, while works like "Romeo and Juliet" and "Thousand Year Dream" have a softer, more romantic feel. Alternately soothing and engaging, Flood demonstrates why Pook is a popular classical/new age artist in the U.K.. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

- Contemporary classical composer and violinist Jocelyn Pook followed her studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama by touring for three years with the Communards; she further broadened her musical horizons with contributions to Derek Jarman's 1986 film masterpiece Caravaggio, and two years later wrote the score to the DV8 Physical Theatre production My Body, Your Body. Pook continued this balancing act into the next decade, writing for cinema and television productions including Jarman's Edward II, the BBC series Mad About Music and John Smith's short film Blight while concurrently working with pop acts ranging from Peter Gabriel to PJ Harvey to Nick Cave via her Electra Strings project. In 1994, the Canadian dance company O Vertigo commissioned Pook to score their production Deluge; the music was released on album three years later under the title Flood. She also was chosen by legendary filmmaker Stanley Kubrick to score what became his final picture, 1999's Eyes Wide Shut. Another solo effort, Untold Things, followed in early 2001. ~ Jason Ankeny ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
