From the Kyma 8th Nerve newsletter:

Ed Eagan's Beautiful Simple Magical Object
Listen for Edmund Eagan's Kyma/Continuum/Serge drenched score on Nik
Sheehan's new documentary, Flicker: the True Story of Brion Gysin and
the Dream Machine (http://www.flickerflicker.com) premiering at the
Hot Docs festival in Toronto (http://www.hotdocs.ca/). Eagan's score
is perfectly evocative of the era and of the questions being explored
by Gysin in his collaborations with William S Burroughs. The score
features extensive use of Kyma, analog synthesizers and the Continuum
to help bring to life Gysin's art, friendships, ideas and his
fascination with self-identity. A sonic four channel interpretation of
the Dream Machine was created using a Serge modular synthesizer, which
could then be selectively tuned to harmonize within the various
movements of the musical score. The voice of Marianne Faithfull (one
of the principal characters in the documentary) was sampled and
analysed within Kyma to create time variant deliveries of the phrase
"beautiful, simple, magical object". Granular ambiences, modal tone
shaping, formant shifted voices and numerous other Kyma sounds were
played on the Continuum with the assistance of Wacom Tablet and
Wiimote control input. Listen to the trailer and a sampling of the
music here: http://www.twelfthroot.com/broadcastwork/Flicker.html

The music in the trailer at the is wicked stuff!
