In this performance the accent will be based on behaviour during a musical and graphical event with the spontaneous attitudes of performers which will aid the audience to assess the musical moment and interpret their subtleties. As in fiction and projecting an M as for Movie, Monkeytown, Montgomery, and Mystery… we will present in four interactive screens original conceived Neo-Noir images …. The performances comprise a constantly changing environment around the orbit of the time line and it will underlie polymetric foundations. Conceived & written by Ana Isabel Ordonez.

A Touch of Noir
Film and Music project

Composed Neo-Noir scores by Herb Robertson

“A Touch of Noir” brings about a new music approach to classic film noir history correcting the disembodiment that existed in the original scores, making a dark and ominous dramatic effect. The improvisers will combine blues and swing and some written excerpts with the film “A Touch of Noir” simultaneously. The effect of this live performance will instantly create a score for the film and two separate media experiences or one total experience together. This film has been performed in Europe (Luxembourg, Netherlands) and USA (New York). Film noir and spontaneous music convey an interesting analysis on life’s improvisations. Film by Ana Isabel Ordonez and François Olivieri.

Music composed by Michiel Braam. Narrated by Herb Robertson. Performed by Bad City Band.
