For Pynchon-Fans:
Yes, I can answer your question unmistakably: GRAVITYS RAINBOW would be
a component and not the basis of the whole project.

Filmscore
The filmscore co-operation with Robert Forster (Go Betweens) was a desire of the director, who is a big fan of the Go-Betweens, nobody transports words better through melodies. Forster had already brought in 2 Songs in Bramkamps film Conquest of the Centre". Robert Forster's Lyrics were inspired by the last page of Pynchons Gravity's rainbow. The recording was made in a berliner hotel room with 2 microphones and a Nagra. On the occasion of the Go-Betweens - Reunification in the year 2000 the music channel VIVA to 2/zwobot broadcasted an 2-hour Go-Betweens Special, where Forster also reported about the shooting in Babelsberg.
The orchestra accompaniment to the Song was composed by the young composer Max Knoth (see left). From this co-operation a musical strategy for the whole film was developed. The compositions of Max Knoth were performed by the German Filmorchester Babelsberg under the direction of Bernd Wefelmeyer, who is a professor of Sound/film music at the HFF teaches.
