If you're searching for ambient records, I've been workin on a project called
Unknown Movie Night which is
a recurring series of live quadraphonic film-scoring events where the selected film is unknown to both audience and band until it begins. Discerning film selectors & a rotating cast of guest musicians join Arthur King in making each event unique, taking participants on a journey into the unknown.
We've released a few of these commercially you can listen anywhere
including IAA.
Coincidentally, we have an event this Thursday in Los Angeles at
2220 Arts + Archives in
Historic Filipinotown. The venue has a surround system which we use live. We also multitrack the event for a later Atmos mix like the ones on the IAA site and for those who want it, youcan walk away with a recording of the night on cassette and/or get a poster of the revealed movie. Lately, our Film Selectors have been music video directors. At the last event the film selector was Daniels who in addition to directing music videos directed the oscar winning film Everything Everywhere All at Once. They ended up choosing Run Lola Run. It was a super special night.
This edition's Film Selector is
Floria Sigismondi. Floria is known across music videos, photography and film projects which include Björk, David Bowie, The White Stripes, The Handmaid’s Tale and the cult classic film, The Runaways. Her selection is sure to inspire quite an interesting composition from musicians:
Kern Haug on drums,
Pauline Lay on violin,
JP Maramba on bass,
David Ralicke on sax y beats, and
Peter Walker on guitar. The dublab DJ bookending the night is
Jenn Zelmer.
