I recall reading a story in elementary school where Gatling locked himself in a basement for two weeks to create the light bulb. After much work, he did succeed and upon leaving his basement found out that Edison had already invented and patented the light bulb. I don't know the truth of this but this release is a similar case. For two years, Illusion of Art attempted to write a soundtrack to this movie. The first attempt at this soundtrack was lost in a hard drive crash, the second was inferior, and then this was done. Upon finishing, it was found out that everyone else already wrote a soundtrack to this movie.
This soundtrack was created to sync up with the version of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" currently available on the Internet Archive though the echoes of the music extend a bit past the movie. The music will not sync up with the proper 65 minute version of the film. Instead of recording it scene by scene, it was recorded as a whole. It was recorded in real time with the movie in one take and mistakes were left in.
Many of the themes used in this piece come from the 'lost' Illusion of Art album, "Ganapatya Sophia." Hopefully, this will not be the last soundtrack by Illusion of Art.
