== Musical tributes == After his death, the band [[Chumbawamba]] released "Song for Derek Jarman" in his honour. [[Andi Sexgang]] released the CD ''Last of England'' as a Jarman tribute. The ambient experimental album ''The Garden Is Full of Metal'' by [[Robin Rimbaud]] included Jarman speech samples.<ref>{{cite web |title=Robin Rimbaud – The Garden Is Full of Metal – Homage To Derek Jarman |website=[[Discogs]] |year=1997 |url=https://www.discogs.com/Robin-Rimbaud-The-Garden-Is-Full-of-Metal-Homage-to-Derek-Jarman/release/93421 |access-date=20 August 2018}}</ref> [[Manic Street Preachers]]' bassist [[Nicky Wire]] recorded a track titled "Derek Jarman's Garden" as a [[A-side and B-side|b-side]] to his single "[[Break My Heart Slowly]]" (2006). On his album ''In the Mist'', released in 2011, ambient composer [[Harold Budd]] features a song titled "The Art of Mirrors (after Derek Jarman)".<ref>{{cite web |title=Harold Budd – The Art of Mirrors (after Derek Jarman) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFamOW8cvM0 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/IFamOW8cvM0| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|date=26 October 2013 |publisher=youtube.com |access-date=20 August 2018}}{{cbignore}}</ref> [[Coil (band)|Coil]], which in 1985 contributed a soundtrack for Jarman's ''[[The Angelic Conversation (album)|The Angelic Conversation]]''<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Quietus {{!}} Reviews {{!}} Peter|url=https://thequietus.com/articles/17257-peter-sleazy-christopherson-live-at-l-trange-festival-2004-the-art-of-mirrors-homage-to-derek-jarman-review|access-date=2021-05-05|website=The Quietus|date=17 February 2015 |language=en-us}}</ref> released the 7" single "Themes for Derek Jarman's Blue"<ref>{{Citation|title=Coil – Themes For Derek Jarman's Blue (1993, Blue, Vinyl)|year=1993 |url=https://www.discogs.com/Coil-Themes-For-Derek-Jarmans-Blue/release/194177|language=en|access-date=2021-05-05}}</ref> in 1993. In 2004, Coil's [[Peter Christopherson]] performed his score for the Jarman short ''The Art of Mirrors'' as a tribute to Jarman live at L'étrange Festival in Paris. In 2015, record label Black Mass Rising released a recording of the performance.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson* - Live At L' Etrange Festival 2004 - The Art Of Mirrors (Homage To Derek Jarman)|url=https://www.discogs.com/Peter-Sleazy-Christopherson-Live-At-L-Etrange-Festival-2004-The-Art-Of-Mirrors-Homage-To-Derek-Jarma/master/831825|access-date=2021-05-05|website=Discogs|language=en}}</ref> In 2018, composer [[Gregory Spears]] created a work for chorus and string quartet, titled "The Tower and the Garden", commissioned by conductors Donald Nally, Mark Shapiro, Robert Geary and Carmen-Helena Téllez, setting a poem by [[Keith Garebian]] from his collection "Blue: The Derek Jarman Poems" (2008). The French musician and composer Romain Frequency released his first album ''Research on a nameless colour''<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Simoneau·Music·March 3|date=2020-03-03|title=Video premiere: Romain Frequency - 'Perfect Blue'|url=https://www.kaltblut-magazine.com/video-premiere-romain-frequency-perfect-blue/|access-date=2021-05-05|website=Kaltblut Magazine|language=en}}</ref> in 2020 as a tribute to Jarman's final collection of Essays “Chroma” released in 1994, the year he died and written while struggling with illness (facing the irony of an artist going blind). The songs are devoted to an unexisting colour and their attendant emotion as a transposition of a certain contemplative state into sound. The album received a positive response from the press.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Frank|first=Paula|date=2020-02-17|title=Romain Frequency: Research on a Nameless Colour|url=https://fourculture.com/romain-frequency-research-on-a-nameless-colour/|access-date=2021-05-05|website=Fourculture Magazine|language=en-US}}</ref> At the time of his death, Jarman was slated to direct the [[Annie Lennox]] music video for "Every Time We Say Goodbye" from her ''[[Red Hot + Blue]]'' project (1990). As a tribute, the video features family film footage of Jarman's childhood.
