YOUR QUESTION

Hi Trevor, I recently got a copy of Zorns Film Works V "Tears of ecstasy", brilliant album, love it, but I'm confused, the 12th track "Cusp" is a fragment of "Everyone I went to high school with is dead" off the masterful Disco Volante. The thing I'm finding strange is that the liner notes of "Tears" say all songs written by John Zorn and on Disco Volante it says the tune is composed by you, my question is who wrote it?
Many Thanks

MY ANSWER

I’ve heard about this though I’ve never heard the soundtrack myself. I am the sole writer of “Everyone….” but I guess it was sampled for that particular track in the film. Hilarious!
