Dziga Vertov “The man with the movie camera”

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

The man with the movie cameraGo to Roskilde in Denmark and  catch me improvising a score to this old silent film from 1929 by the russian filmmaker Dziga Vertov. I am stressing IMPROVISING, since it doesnt say that everywhere in the programs.

Anyways, I saw the film once four years ago so its gonna be no problem remembering every scene and edit… hehe.

Luckily the film is very much like a music video – that is the editing and recording – or filming I should say – technique Dziga Vertov used, is REALLY ahead of its time.

The people of Russia in 1929 must have thought he was crazy. And maybe he was.

The film is amazingly experimenting and many  intellectual film professionals have over the years written wise words about the film.

I am looking very much forward to seeing it again, even though I will be quite busy with my midicontroller and my keyboards and my fx. Not to mention my poor brain – boiling over trying to compete with his mad editing.

Oh and there will be no punk music this time I am afraid. It sad that too somewhere.
