the cinematic orchestra's score to "man with a movie camera"

 

 

searching on the interweb might lead you to something else then you originally were looking for. yesterday i tried to figure out what funky porcini had been up to since those marvellous ninja tune compilation in the mid 90's. i did discover what james braddell had been up to, but i also stumbled over a new (for me) score to dziga vertov's film from 1929, "man with a movie camera".

this is in fact the third post im writing about this excellent silent film! the first was about biosphere's score, then i wrote about mental overdrive's part and now the turn has come to the soundtrack composed by the cinematic orchestra. this score was commissioned by the organizers of the porto european city of culture 2001 festival, and was preformed live on the opening event. 

the cinematic orchestra is a british jazz and electronic outfit. it was formed in 1999 and is the brain child to jason swinscoe.  

 

enjoy! <3

new 12": isolée "dennis"

 

 

ripperton is starting a new label called xtra tamed, and the first release is the new 12" from isolèe "dennis". its an amazing tune, but also has a great story behind it. the label boss went to see and listen to a isolèe gig over a year ago in lausanne and "dennis" was the opening tune. after a week it was still stuck in ripperton's head, so he asked what song it was. and the answer was that the song was a draft of a soundtrack to a skateboard video isolèe had done (watch the amazing video in the end of the post) for rollenaller.de/#.

the 12" will be released on june 3rd and will also have remixes by ripperton and baïkal, it can be ordered from here.

isolèe is the german minimalist house producer rajko müller, that hails from frankfurt. his 2000 release "rest" was probably the first full length microhouse album ever made. not familiar with microhouse? neither was i, but apparently many artist that i like (superpitcher, andreas ilar and actress) is performing in the genre so its a pretty familiar sound...

 

enjoy! <3

louie austen "leanne" (richard dorfmeister bittersweet mix)

 

 

crooners are a dying breed and so is their public. but there is hope, one of the crooners has embraced the electronic music to reach a bigger audience. in the end of the '90s louie austen, a classical trained bar and jazz singer, left las vegas and came home to vienna. there he started to venture into the unknown with the producers mario neugebauer and patrick pulsinger from cheap records.

the exploration of the new sound scape has turned into 7 studio albums, and a fully transformation from a wannabe rat pack crooner into the first true electro crooner. in the end of 2012 he released the album "what a comeback!" that includes a beautiful and deep remix of "leanne" by no other than richard dorfmeister (where is kruder??). the album can be bought from here.

 

enjoy! <3
