| |  | My Cinema for the Ears
Video: 59 minutes, Audio: 50 minutes<br /><br />My Cinema for the Ears is a 59 minute film by Uli Aumüller. An impressionistic, wryly humorous look at nature and the creative process, the film features two composers, Francis Dhomont and Paul Lansky - and follows their search for an art that emanates from their surroundings. The DVD My Cinema for the Ears is in French and English with German, French and English subtitles. Besides the original composition Un Autre Printemps, by Francis Dhomont, and visualized by the video artist Robert Darrol, this DVD also features audio tracks of Dhomont's piece, En Cuerdas, and Paul Lansky's Night Traffic, Table's Clear, and Idle Chatter Junior. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

“The title comes from a painting by Francis Bacon, while the music ranges widely in its references and allusions. A decade on, Blood on theFloor remains Turnage's magnum 'fusion' opus. With a raw expressive energy fuelled by the loss of his brother to a drugs overdose, the composer's gift for sour melody and guttural sonority has never been deployed to better effect. The body of this DVD release is a live performance taped in Frankfurt's Alte Oper during the same 1996 premiere tour that yielded a CD recording. The concert was presumably intended for low-fi TV broadcast and consists of the usual series of close-ups of instrumentalists edited to the music. The technique is less irksome here than in many such outings; it highlights the breathtaking artistry of the multifarious musicians involved, genuinely conveying a charged atmosphere. Sound quality is good if not quite up to the standard of the audio equivalent; there are some perplexing moments when the camera focuses on an instrument barely audible in the mix. More happily, John Scofield is shown creating something wonderful from the simple melody of 'Elegy for Andy', while Peter Erskine's sotto voce drum solos in 'Crackdown' are astonishing. Extras include an unrevealing introduction shot during rehearsals and the more welcome inclusion of two encores, arrangements of pieces by Erskine and Scofield which prefigure Turnage's recent Scorched project.” Gramophone Classical Music Guide, 2010 “Ten years on, Blood on the Floor remains Turnage's magnum 'fusion' opus. With a raw expressive energy fuelled by the loss of his brother to a drugs overdose, the composer's gift for sour melody and guttural sonority has never been deployed to better effect. The body of this DVD release is a live performance taped in Frankfurt's Alte Oper... it highlights the breathtaking artistry of the multifarious musicians involved, genuinely conveying a charged atmosphere.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2006 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
