MASSIMO VOLUME sonorizzazione live del film La caduta della casa Usher (Francia 1928) – B/N - Durata 70 minuti Genere Horror (film diretto da Jean Epstein) Soggetto: Edgar Allan Poe Sceneggiatura di Luis Buñuel e Jean Epstein Interpreti e personaggi: Jean Debucourt: Sir Roderick Usher,Marguerite Gance: Madeleine Usher, Charles Lamy: Allan, The Guest, Fournez-Goffard: The doctor, Luc Dartagnan, Abel Gance, Halma, Pierre Hot, Pierre Kefer
Il regista vi fonde due racconti di Edgar Allan Poe (La caduta della casa degli Usher e Il ritratto ovale) con altri spunti dello scrittore americano, ma poco interessato al macabro, li rilegge in chiave animista. All'epoca godette di ampia fama anche se non ripagò i costi di produzione. In questo film compare come co-sceneggiatore e aiuto-regista il futuro maestro del cinema surrealista Luis Buñuel.
Trama: Un amico va a trovare Roderick Usher che vive nella malinconica magione con la moglie Madeline. Quest'ultima deperisce man mano che Roderick la ritrae, finché muore e viene sepolta in una cripta. Ma il suo decesso è solo apparente...

HOLMES We're getting older 7" SINGLE OUT ON WILD HONEY RECORDS!
..
If Neil Young was born forty years later in the cold Swedish woods, he would probably play with Holmes, by now. It’s not a coincidence that Kristoffer Bolander’s voice is often compared to the old Grizzly’s. The band’s territory is country-rock ballads and lap-steel guitars, enriched by a modern approach to pop and indie-rock; that sort of alternative- country like no one makes anymore, in the vein of Wilco’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” and Jayhawks, with personal and social conscious lyrics. For the first time ever on vinyl two somber and vibrant songs, with Anna Gottfries as special guest on the beautiful b-side.

"In 'The Mirror of Eternal Light', the Dutch lutist Jozef van Wissem catches his own reflection in tender, minimalist picking and gold-spray overdubs" - David Fricke, senior editor, Rolling Stone Magazine
"Van Wissem seems to breeze across musical boundaries with an effortless fluency" - Pitchfork
"Jozef van Wissem constructs a time bridge which links the 17th and 20th centuries,and, needless to say, the traffic on this bridge moves in both directions. He has made 17th century music into 20th century music" - Brian Marley, Avant Magazine
"Jozef van Wissem has a creative obsession with the concepts of backwards or mirror images. On this cd he applies various palindromes. Van Wissem is accompanied on his gorgeous solos by Gary Lucas who performs a dobro solo that has the sense of intense adventure and motivation" - Eugene Chadbourne
"Jozef van Wissem has been slowly reinventing the lute for the last three decades. Among the slew of fast-picking, fancy-fretting guitar players so prevalent today, his lute’s voice is a quiet oasis, and Stations of the Cross a small masterpiece" - Nick Southgate The Wire
"the certainties of the 17th century holding tight the ugly beauty that we now see scattered around us. I loved these CDs by Jozef van Wissem, A Rose by any other Name and Stations of the Cross. And then I received a new album, A Priori, and I immediately played it and heard its stark and repetitive intensity, its stately and glacial march. There is nothing quite like it that I have heard before - it is timeless, breathing deeply and exhaling showers of snow, endless circles, mirrors, spirals, the sea. When Jozef plays the lute, he pours out endless space. What can I say but let the rain come, close your eyes and watch the stars fall and rise and fall again" - David Tibet/Current 93
