The Devil Music Ensemble set the tone for the month. The trio from Boston played a live score to the 1922 Dracula movie, Nosferatu, at Centenary College.
There was no slack in the Devil Music Ensemble score. Drum hits and portentous crescendos happened exactly where the movie action required them. Guitarist Brendon Wood employed lap steel, a synth and other instruments in addition to his Telecaster and numerous effects. Violinist Jonah Rapino doubled on vibraphone. Drummer Tim Nylander often played synth bass with one hand while percussing with the other.
The idea of a horror movie plus art rock group - DME played from orchestral to country - was appealing to a large crowd.
On Sun, Oct 29, Mosquitosophagus brings their new movie and score to 846 Texas. Painter-musician Eric Dean with violinist Destiny Toro and drummer Pete Fetterman make meditative as well as crunchy sounds via samples & guitar in addition to the instruments above.
Additionally, Minicine's David Nelson has booked the group Small Sails. The melodious quartet from Portland- formerly known as Adelaide - are on a national tour of clubs and galleries with movies made from archival as well as original film loops. Under the category of indie / ambient / pop on their myspace site you'll hear handsome chiming sounds and vocals atop the samples.
Small Sails includes folk singer Ethan Rose, who will have his own set of sonic citino called Ceiling Songs.
Muted multimedia muchness at 846 Tex, $5 donation; 8 pm.
