SVEN LIBAEK ~ THE SET Original Soundtrack LP.
Original 1969 Australian pressing released on the Philips label PDS 337.
Description :
Extremely rare an hard to find classic late sixties film sountrack composed and conducted by Sven Libaek.
Sven Libaek is an Australian composer, record producer and musician. He is well-known for his film and TV soundtrack music and also had a significant influence on the Australian popular music scene in the mid-1960s as the staff producer for the Australian division of CBS Records. Fellow soundtrack composer Felix Ookean has described his contribution to Australian music as 'immeasureable'.
Libaek first came to Australia in 1960 as a member of the band The Windjammers, which toured the USA and Australia to promote the film. Shortly after the group broke up, Libaek and his wife returned to Australia to live.
In 1963 Libaek was hired by the newly established CBS Records (Australia), which had been incorporated following the 1960 takeover of the Australian Record Company by Columbia Records USA. During his tenure as Musical Director and A&R Manager for CBS (as well as General Manager for April Music Publishing in Sydney) Libaek built up a strong roster of pop, folk and jazz performers and produced over two hundred singles and albums, as well as writing (or co-writing with his wife) many of the titles he produced. His CBS credits include producing all the CBS recordings by surf music and The Atlantics including their hit "Bombora", folk musicians Gary Shearston and Patsy Biscoe. He left CBS in 1968 to work as a freelance composer, arranger, conductor and established his own music production company.
Libaek's Australian film and TV credits include Nickel Queen, The Set, To Ride A White Horse, Vincent Serventy's oft-repeated nature series Nature Walkabout, the drama series Boney, the Ron and Valerie Taylor underwater documentary series Inner Space, ABC-TV's magazine series A Big Country, The World Around Us, Joe Wilson and The Settlement, as well as dozens of feature documentaries and industrial films. He worked with Maurice Jarre as musical coordinator and orchestrator for the Peter Weir film The Year of Living Dangerously and also hosted his own TV show on ABC-TV, All About Music in 1974.
Libaek lived and worked in Los Angeles from 1977 to 1994 where he orchestrated more than 300 popular songs for US radio stations and artists including Lionel Richie and Neil Diamond, and he also worked for the Hanna-Barbera company, composing the scores for several animated TV specials.
Much of his work continues to have a strong cult following today.
