Hey UK Spinners....
So this is happening on Friday December 5th:
For anyone who's interested, here's a bit of recent copy I threw together about us:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LARVA is a loose group comprising myself and Nick Sales a.k.a. Screaming Lord Thrutch (Pram, Bow Gamelan Orchestra, Bliss Body) as well as Sam Owen (Pram, Two Dogs), James Smith (Betty & The Id, Ray Vorg) and Laurence Hunt (Pram, Modified Toy Orchestra)
Our focus is making sounds to accompany both obscure B-movies (and now, a world cinema classic!) which no doubt deserve better. Earlier this year we adapted & performed the original music to cult science fiction oddity IDAHO TRANSFER. For La Jetee's score/performance, I shall be flying solo.....
This new soundtrack for La Jetee focuses on the films themes around memory, trauma and circular time. It utilizes as the main sonic component The Glass Armonica - an instrument from the 18th century that fell out of favour as it developed a reputation for being "The Devil's Instrument", believed to drive both player and listener insane! For this score, I am making a brand new instrument variation on it, the Chromatic Armonica. Other components of the score are guitar drones, analog synths and live cat purring.
LARVA are currently putting the finishing touches to our first LP release, our re-score for the mind-maddening cult 1960 3-D horror film THE MASK. Fingers crossed for an early 2015 release on insanely complicated double 3D vinyl!
Thanks for listening...
