Learning that Page had been removed from the project, Beausoleil wrote to Anger from Tracy Prison (DVI) in California, suggesting that he compose a soundtrack for "Lucifer Rising", as they had originally agreed almost a decade earlier. With aid from a prison teacher, he was able to obtain the necessary musical instruments and recording equipment, and formed the Freedom Orchestra, with Anger visiting Tracy Prison to talk with him about the project. Still enthusiastic about "Lucifer Rising", to the press he no longer claimed that Beausoleil had stolen from him, but instead blamed anonymous youths.
