KILL BILL VOL. 1
INSPIRED SOUND TRACK
Absurd, surreal, and so camp. Kill Bill Vol. 1 checks all those boxes and is one of my favorite revenge arcs. It draws a lot of inspiration from old kung fu and karate movies in addition to anime and old Westerns. But, the film really comes to life with it’s soundtrack. Curated and produced by the masterful RZA, the 22 song soundtrack combines original songs and other classics that accentuate the brutal fight scenes. Given RZA’s affinity for kung fu aesthetics, he was the perfect choice to produce the film’s critical soundscape. Being a big fan Wu-Tang Clan, this film became even more special.
I was inspired to expand on the world of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and its soundtrack to create a new one, one compiled of new (and old) songs that felt like they resembled the grit and gore from the film. To take it a step further, I decided to create a whole visual campaign surrounding this new soundtrack playlist. Much like the film, anime, kung fu, and karate aesthetics drove what I designed.
