This is a soundtrack to a soundtrack. Confused? Dutch Harbor, a documentary film about deep-sea crabbers in an emerging fast-food civilization on Unalaska Island, Alaska--North America's westernmost point--was taken on a European screening tour by its filmmakers, University of Southern California alumnus Braden King and Homer, Alaska's Laura Moya. A collection of Chicago musicians, including Will Oldham of Palace, Jim O'Rourke and Rick Rizzo of Eleventh Dream Day, and Douglas McCombs of Tortoise, performed live improvisations to the film's visuals as Boxhead Ensemble.
