- Here are a few words from Mike Garson abouthis collaboration with Billy Corgan on the”Stigmata” film score:
Composing the score with Billy Corgan was anextraordinary experience. We worked 28 daysstraight for 12 hours per day. Billy is an extremely creative and musically gifted artist. The interaction between us was superb. Each of our ideas and insights really coalesced into one unified effort.
In addition to the score, we also wrote the end credit theme, “Identify,” which is performed by Natalie Imbruglia on the soundtrack.
One final note…Life has its serendipitous ways of creating interesting effects: I met Billy Corgan through David Bowie. Ironically, Bowie contributed a song to the soundtrack album, as well. Small world! – Mike Garson
Mike Garson will join Bowie in the upcoming VH-1 STORYTELLERS session. Get all the latest on Mike Garson at his website: www.nowmusic.net/.
