Nosferatu - A Symphony of Horror
[Silent film, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, Germany 1922]
Live music: Histoplasmose [2004/05/10/11] by IzP

FILM:
Murnau's interpretation of Dracula depicts paths into the realm of phantoms. Bridges are crossed, gates are traversed - crossing borders beyond which the vampire forces can take hold. And the realm expands further and further over time until it takes over the entire cinematic space. The vampire may be driven away, but the power that drives it never will - because it is the power of cinema itself. [Text: Peter Ellenbruch / Scopium]

MUSIC:
Histoplasmosis - a fungus that thrives in bat droppings - was the cause of the death of the archaeologists who opened Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. The bat as a central motif of vampire mythology carries the spores of histoplasmosis into the film music, so that they infect the audience from the inside.
Sound journey for electrified accordion, bowed electric bass, live electronics, small gong, (screaming) voice, one-man women's choir, playback, electrified roof batten, microphoned polystyrene, cake fork on glass pane, singing wine glasses, children's glockenspiel, loop sampler.

"[...] Magic was emphasized with beeping space music, in the plague alarm the music referred to the sounds of war and airplanes. The modern references refreshed and condensed the film experience, emphasizing surprising details and bringing out subtle nuances. The traditional whining of the violins, [...] and the horror strumming, on the other hand, obstruct, obscure and blunt the old image, at least from today's perspective. A new music track always means a rebirth for a movie. "
