An evening with Electropolis

Tuesday, February 21, 2006

Electropolis will perform one of their free-wheeling, gravity-defying sets, and will also perform the soundtrack to the 1920 silent film by Dziga Vertov MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA. The soundtrack is a combination of collectively composed vignettes, and purely improvised expressionism. Michael Ferrier noted after a recent soundtrack performance, “One of the great things about doing the live soundtracks is that we’re there watching and experiencing the film right along with the audience, acting out the narrative right there with our instruments. It’s quite a trip!”
