Prog Rockers Djam Karet in a movie soundtrack

Djam Karet has over 20 tracks of music in Ramzi Abed new feature-length Black Dahlia Movie, adding a dark and menacing tone that permeates the entire film. Melancholic and gloomy, Djam Karet’s music helped create the unsettling moods and atmosphere that director Ramzi Abed needed for this project.

January 15th 2007 marked the 60th anniversary of the day that Elizabeth Short was found murdered and mutilated in a lot at 39th and Norton Ave. The murder captivated Los Angeles and set off a media frenzy fueled by the lurid life and brutal death of The Black Dahlia. Sixty years later, this crime has still gone unsolved, and still continues to captivate not just Los Angeles- but the entire world.

Filmed before any of the other Black Dahlia-related films (including Brian DePalma's "The Black Dahlia", and Ulli Lommel's "Black Dahlia"), Ramzi Abed’s Black Dahlia Movie is a sexy and thrilling journey into the darkness and mystery of Hollywood's most famous unsolved murder case, created to be released in time for the 60th anniversary of the discovery of Elizabeth Short's body.

Also contributing original music to the soundtrack are David J (of Bauhaus and Love & Rockets), Ego Plum (and The Ebola Music Orchestra), The LVRS, My Ruin, Nora Keyes (of The Centimeters), Dame Darcy and Death By Doll, Jill Tracy, Red Martian, Abby Travis, Piss Ant, Red Martian, and others. But the majority of the music is by Djam Karet.

An unforgettable and haunting experience, Black Dahlia Movie is a truly original post-modern arthouse thriller that examines the legacy of Elizabeth Short's murder, while satirizing Hollywood's exploitation of women. Created Black Dahlia Movie is a cult classic that will inspire many interpretations and late-night obsessions.
