Music
An excerpt from Arnold Schoenberg's string sextet Verklärte Nacht composed in 1899 and beautifully performed by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, licensed from Universal Music and with extracts selected and combined by director Victor van Aswegen.
Niccolò Paganini's notoriously difficult Caprice for Violin No. 6 in G Minor composed in the early 1800s, in a breathtaking performance by South Korean violinist In Mo Yang, also licensed from Universal Music.
Eight tracks of production music selected by the director and licensed through Capasso.
But most importantly: 11 tracks of music composed and produced for the film by the brilliant classically trained Kristi Boonzaaier. Forged in close collaboration with the director into a perfect fit for the edited sequences, it is ultimately these tracks more than any of the others that define the film.

11 tracks composed for Sculpting This Earth by Kristi Boonzaaier

Louisa Theart on the alto flute, in the PolyForge Media recording studio with Kristi.

Lynn Rudolphs in the studio to record Kristi's lines for the viola.

Terry de Vries playing the glass bowls in the studio, and Kristi listening – over the subsequent months incorporated by him into the composed music to great effect, as were Terry's Tibetan bowl and monochord sounds.
