Pandora Tour Dates

Dir. Georg Wilhelm Pabst, Germany 1929, 133 mins. Cert PG
Silent film with a new live score

Composed and performed by Jóhann Jóhannsson and Hildur Gudnadóttir… “…at that time a dangerously shocking film. It still remains an intensely sexy one.” [The Guardian]
“Supremely evocative compositions” [BBC music]

GW Pabst’s 1929 silent film follows the rise and fall of the captivating, amoral young prostitute Lulu and her various ill-fated relationships, brought to life by the inimitable Louise Brooks.

Part of an international renaissance of silent film, this special screening sees award-winning Icelandic composer Jóhann Jóhannsson (Fordlandia), cellist and composer Hildur Gudnadóttir (Múm/Throbbing Gristle), and turntablist Philip Jeck combine forces.

The brand new live soundtrack plays with the film’s volatile energy, Weimar-era recordings and the iconic figure of Louise Brooks.

Tour dates:

31st October
Show 1: Islington Assembly Hall, London
1st November
Show 2: Howard Assembly Room, Leeds
2nd November
Show 3: RNCM, Manchester
3rd November
Show 4: Warwick Arts Centre, Warwick

Vinyl Requiem 20 in 2013

vinylreq

Vinyl Requiem, Philip Jeck’s award-winning installation piece from 1993, celebrates its 20th anniversary next year.

An edited version of the 1993 UK premier at the Union Chapel, London. Winner of a Time Out Performance Award, this was an 80 minute sound and vision experience event I co-created with sound artist / composer Philip Jeck. Devised as a celebratory marker in time to the demise of the main stream production and use of the vinyl ‘record’ as the ‘CD’ began to take over… ‘download’ was not yet in the public’s audio vocabulary.
