Svidd neger (subtitled Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is an original soundtrack album by Norwegian experimental collective Ulver. The soundtrack was commissioned by Filmfalken AS. from Ambassaden, Oslo, and Norsk Film, Bærum, Norway, recorded between September 2002 and April 2003. The album was issued by Jester Records on September 15, 2003. The music is more elaborate than the abstract minimalism of Lyckantropen Themes. Stated on the sleeve: “Music for and Inspired by Svidd neger as perceived by Ulver. What you hear is not strictly what you see. All for the director in you.”

Svidd neger is Ulver’s first score for a full-length feature film, the controversial Norwegian film Svidd neger. The songs are lush and dense, generally laidback but sinister, at times more musical and orchestral, while other elements are more minimal and atmospheric.^[1]
