Hello all,
It is time to go back to the weekly Monday’s Tune after a long break.
For the first episode of season 2, I’ve decided to send a tune that Dina sent a week ago in her own music list. The track is by Max Richter, composed for the Israeli docu-animation Waltz with Bashir, directed by Ari Folman. [click to continue…]
The Cinematic Orchestra - Every DayIts seems that Monday's Tune has become a bi-weekly event, instead of every week. I will try to return to normality soon...
Today’s featured tune is by one of my favourite team of musicians, The Cinematic Orchestra, a British-based jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe.
Today’s track is called “Man With The Movie Camera”, from the 2002 album Every Day, released by Ninja Tune [independent record label]. The song was later reworked and was part of a 2003 soundtrack album by The Cinematic Orchestra to a re-released version of the 1929 silent documentary film, Man with a Movie Camera, by Russian director Dziga Vertov.

About the band members, In addition to Swinscoe [from Wikipedia]:
the band includes former DJ Food member Patrick Carpenter on turntables, Luke Flowers (drums), Tom Chant (Saxophone), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar) and Phil France (double bass). Former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums), and Alex James (piano). The most recent addition to the band is Mancunian guitarist Stuart McCallum.
The following video is an edited version of Vertov’s film, released as a music video for the song:
Enjoy!
Manuel Mera - Obstacles EP
My friend, and star of my upcoming short film, Manuel Mera, is now featured on Rubysoho‘s Ruby Radio, and presented by Jaguar Shoes.
In your mind, recall the classic, 1986 RUN DMC/Aerosmith, “Walk this way” music video. Now rewind and re-enact, putting “The Police” in one room and “David Lynch” in the other.
Manuel’s music is thought provoking, rich and powerful. A cycle of emotions is being triggered as the songs are being played. One song is not enough, and the sequence of songs, as a matter of fact, builds up to create the whole.
The soundtrack to a schizophrenic’s tragic, yet hopeful psychotherapy session.
Quotes from Rubysoho’s Lifecam
