about

Themes for Falling Down Stairs is the debut instrumental album by Douglas Lee. Produced by Michael Rozon (Ministry) and Lee, it's an aural treat that takes the listener to a remote place in their imagination. Sounding like a mash-up of Nino Rota, Angelo Badalamenti, Miklos Rozsa and Carl Stalling, Themes is equal parts 40s Film Noir soundtrack, Romani gypsy music, Shibuya-Kei Japanese pop and 30s Shanghai cabaret. With postmodern arrangements incorporating electro-acoustic sounding devices and various exotic instruments to produce rich soundscapes, Themes for Falling Down Stairs creates an aural place which can be visited distinctly separate in time and space from the location of the listener. An audible cognitive illusion of a euphoric destination, rich with detail and immersive imagery. It's like nothing you have ever heard before.
