Kabuki Old School
We love that Cinefamily brings us the obscure film runnings. And we know that they love music too because Dublab and one of our favorite tree-killers, LA Record, are sponsors. Last night at LA's Silent Movie Theatre we were presented with director Teinosuke Kinugasa's 1926 silent film called "A Page of Madness." As seen before, Cinefamily decided to add their own musical score to this film. But what would pair well with the Kinugasa's theme of hallucinations and obsession played out in Japanese kabuki and the use of superimpositions, flashbacks, rapid montage and complex subjective camerawork? None other than California's psychedelic soundsmith, The Gaslamp Killer, who we first discovered from Sound in Color Records and who is now rocking with Obey Records.
Check the Cinefamily website for upcoming experiments in music and film, including an upcoming evening with Mike Mills.
