_underscore_ is an initiative of the
Eye Museum, RE:VIVE (Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision) and The Rest is Noise (Muziekgebouw’s concert series for adventurous and experimental music) inviting composers of experimental and electronic music to create new scores for silent films from the collections of Eye and Sound and Vision. It gives artists the opportunity to gain experience writing scores, an art form that requires specific skills and gives these lost films a new lease on life, reviving them for contemporary audiences.
Lamellen -
Het gestolen huurtcontract (1924, Dick Laan)
Rimer London and Waterlelyck are Lamellen. The duo channel an 80s pastiche with their love of well worn synths and drum machines. Their score for
Het gestolen huurcontract accentuates Dick Laan’s slapstick cat and mouse direction and the jubelience of daydreaming teenage summers.
Laura Agnusdei -
Benny heeft het aan zijn haart (1926, Dick Laan)
Laura Agnusdei is an Italian saxophonist and student at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague’s Institute of Sonology. A classically train saxophonist she fuses its sound with acoustic, digital and analogue sound sources to craft sonic landscapes that shift between melody and textured narratives. Her score for
Benny heeft het aan zijn haart is moody yet playful, leaning heavily on her casio drum machine, it walks a fine line between “yakkity sax” and
Blade Runner.
The screening will take place at the
Eye Museum in Amsterdam.
