silent film by Jean Epstein from 1928 with live accompaniment – Eric Sleichim solo & electronics |

BL!NDMAN once more shows its innovative side in the live accompaniment for Buster Keaton’s Steamboat Bill Junior. This original composition by Eric Sleichim not only gives us a refreshing new look at the film, but is a worthwhile piece in itself. Apart from the eccentric task of providing sound effects, the saxophone quartet mainly plays a firmly balanced score which, in combination with special effects, results in a tempestuous soundtrack. |

An encounter of experimental cinema and instrumental inventiveness |

Georg W. Pabst made the movie ‘Secrets of a Soul’ in 1926, three years before his major success ‘Pandora’s Box’. Eric Sleichim is the first composer to create a contemporary soundtrack to this film. |

BL!NDMAN plays the concert space as an instrument, a ‘listening room’ that reveals even in its furthest corners the sound of a music that was written to serve the word. The composers of the ‘Seconda Prattica’ (second half of the 16th to the 17th century) made extensive use of chromatics in order to transpose the expressiveness of the words as well as possible. |
