B-Movie Orchestra featuring The Cinematic Fever Girls
donderdag 11 oktober om 21u30 in Vooruit (Balzaal)
Het B-Movie Orchestra duikt in de schatkamer van B-films uit de jaren ’60 en ’70 en stelt speciaal voor het festival het programma 'Sound of Crime' samen. De muziek ervan lijkt gedateerd, maar is nog altijd swingend, cool, erotisch en gevaarlijk. B-movie Orchestra brengt funky bigband met zinderende erotische psycho-beats. De groovy, rauwe psychedelische muziek wordt afgewisseld met donkere mysterieuze ritmes. The Cinematic Fever Girls zijn de zangeressen van dienst, al moet je niet veel meer verwachten dan wat zoete aaah’s en kleffe oooh’s. Om de ultieme cinematografische B-film beleving compleet te maken wordt de muziek op het podium ondersteund door een wervelende filmfragmentenshow.
Marc Ribot: Film Noir
zaterdag 13 oktober om 20u in Vooruit (Theaterzaal)
Gitarist Marc Ribot – collaborator of Tom Waits, Elvis Costello and John Zorn - explores noir soundtracks from the fourties to the sixties.
Hitchcock's ‘The Lodger’ with live music
19 oktober om 20u30 in het Conservatorium (zaal Miry)
‘The Lodger’ is een van Alfred Hitchcocks eerste films, van voor de geluidsfilm doorbrak. In ‘The Lodger’ wordt London geterroriseerd door een Jack-the-Ripper-achtige seriemoordenaar die zich ‘de Wreker’ noemt en het gemunt heeft op jonge, mooie blondines. Zeven heeft hij er al op zijn naam staan. Het eigenaardige gedrag van een nieuwe, mysterieuze huurder bij de familie Bunting wekt argwaan. Zou hij ‘de Wreker’ zijn? Speciaal voor deze film werd door violiste Anne Bakker en musicus Kevin Toma een spannende en vervreemdende score gecomponeerd.

Yes, this is superb news.
Like last year, I could order the tickets for the people who are interested in joining our group. If you decide early, I can arrange for us to sit together
I have no problem paying 49 euros for this
Let me know something, for those who still aren't sure, no problem, I can always go and acquire tickets later, but I can not guarantee you'll be sitting with uswaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -
- CommentTimeApr 26th 2012
It is great news indeed, but it's not a guarantee for me to be present. To be honest, I thought I'd take it easy this year and not go, so there'd have to be a guest that draws me to the festival regardless.
Last year, it was the combined efforts of Zimmer, Goldenthal and Korzeniowski. This year, sure, James Newton Howard is great, but I've already met the guy once, and you could compile a very unsatisfactory concert program from his work. Pino Donaggio never did anything for me, so he's not a draw for me.
So, I'll be waiting for more details to he announced. You go ahead and get tickets for you and the others. -

James Newton Howard is one of my favourites, and unlike Bob, I've never met him or heard him (even though I just returned from a western concert where his WYATT EARP theme was played....talk about coincidence!).
So that's a big attraction.
I have minimal connection to Donaggio. Owned a few scores of his, but nothing really remarkable, IMO.
In either case, it's definitely interesting (plus, I love the whole Ghent vibe in general), but I'll wait a little bit more untill I see what other guests are coming....if any. Aren't there usually more than two composers?I am extremely serious. -

What, no Williams or Morricone ?!?
Kidding, great names as usual, we are being spoiled! -

I see, though, that the WSA is in late October. If I'm really unlucky, I won't attend it even if I have the dough. It may just crash with obligatory PPU studies (we're being sent out to schools for an 8-week obligatory session around that time).I am extremely serious. -
- CommentTimeApr 27th 2012
Edit: Ouch, I see that it's colliding. So unless I can get down on Friday afternoon and back on Sunday, I won't come to Ghent this year, whether I want to or not. Bollocks!I am extremely serious. -

Now, sure I will be joining but it's colliding in time with the International Filmmusic Symposium and followed by the 'Hollywood in Vienna' Galaconcert where I will be guest.
Will be some flying in and out again I'm afraid, but i'm not going to miss JNH AND Pino, as well I want my chance to talk with Lalo Schifrin and David Newman in Vienna

I'm certainly tempted. And with it being a good few months away I could definitely save up some money to turn it into a decent trip. -

The James Newton Howard aspect of it is a big motivator. He may not be my favourite now, but his music did kind of get me into film scores in the first place. Seems like a no-brainer.
Plus, it'd be great to finally meet some MT people! -
- CommentTimeMay 4th 2012
James Newton Howard within a two hour drive reach is enough reason to go. Meeting MT people again is certainly enough reason to go as well!
