Fresh from a UK and European tour in support for their critically-acclaimed 2nd album for Ninja Tune, 'Everyday', Jason Swinscoe and band now present their latest unique and groundbreaking musical offering - a score a classic silent flick. In late 99, Swinscoe was asked by the organisers of the Porto Film Festival if the band wanted to score a soundtrack to a silent movie. It seemed a perfect opportunity to expand the ideas of The Cinematic Orchestra into the world which had given them their name. But the difference was this was for a one off live performance. The film was Dziga Vertov's 'Man With A Movie Camera a 1929 early documentary cinema film from the Soviet Union. The performance took place in an old theatre space in Porto and ended with a standing ovation of 3,500 people. Since that evening TCO have performed the score live at film festivals from Turkey to Scotland - where they received a standing ovation for their performance at the George Square Theatre as part of two performances the Triptych Festival. The original sessions for 'MWMC'‚ had a formative influence on the 'Everyday' album (Giles Peterson listener's album of the year last year). Certain tracks that made it on to the album were written specifically for the score. The Original mix of the title track is a complex piece of orchestral jazz; a study in texture and rhythm which leads you in and surrounds you in warm layers of sound whilst the live drumming keeps your feet moving. On remix duties Domu comes up with a piece of dancefloor magic. He manages to retain the musicality of the original with the lush synths and flutes floating over the top, all underpinned by a gorgeous broken beat, tight percussion and the mother of all twisted basslines. Guaranteed to shift all butts within a mile radius! Now 'The Man With A Movie Camera' project is to be taken a step further. TCO are taking this unique project on a theatre tour which began when they opened The Barbican's 'Only Connect' series of live events. This event |
