Filmmaker Sally Potter To Release Debut Music Album ‘Pink Bikini’
deadline.comBritish filmmaker Sally Potter (Orlando, The Party) is set to release her debut music album, Pink Bikini. Billed as a “semi-autobiographical” collection of songs, the album will feature music and lyrics by Potter, and will be based on the filmmaker’s experience coming of age as a young woman in 1960s London, as a “young rebel” and activist.
Musical arrangements on the album will feature work from guitarist Fred Frith, who has long collaborated with Potter on her film scores.
The album will be released July 14. Best known for her directorial work on features such as 1992’s Orlando, an adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s classic novel starring Tilda Swinton, and Ginger & Rosa (2012), starring Elle Fanning, Potter had a music career that predates her work in cinema.
During the 1970s, she was a member of the Feminist Improvising Group, an avant-garde band that toured extensively in Europe.
