VAMPYR – Rescored by Steven Severin
Following on from a 30 date UK tour in the winter of 2010, Steven Severin returns to give UK audiences a rare opportunity to hear his new score for VAMPYR, the third in Severin’s ongoing film accompaniment series – Music For Silents.
Live in person, acclaimed solo artist and founder member of the legendary Siouxsie and the Banshees, Severin presents a mesmerising synthesis of sound and image, heightening appreciation of the surreal and enigmatic nature of the original work. Carl Theodor Dreyer’s unsettling tale of fear and obsession finds its aural counterpart in Severin’s suitably textured score, a synthesised, highly atmospheric soundscape drawing the viewer rhythmically into the oneiric imagery on screen.
During their reign, Siouxsie & the Banshees established themselves as one of the foremost alternative artists and the only survivors of the London punk scene to evolve, innovate and succeed until their final demise in 2002. Severin has since committed himself almost exclusively to scoring for film & TV.
Since 2008 Severin has been performing live electronic accompaniment to silent films, startling audiences across the globe who have now come to expect the unexpected from the man who has crossed paths with such diverse luminaries as John Cale, Alan Moore, Lydia Lunch, Marc Almond, Merc Cunningham, Robert Smith and the Tiger Lillies.
Loosely based on Sheridan Le Fanu’s genre-defining, 1872 vampire tale, Carmilla (which preceded Bram Stoker’s Dracula by 25 years), VAMPYR follows the fortunes of Allan Gray, a young student of the occult, who takes rooms at a village inn, little realising that the region is cursed by vampires. In the dead of night, Gray receives a mysterious nocturnal visitor, who leaves behind a package labelled ‘To be opened after my death’ – and from that moment on, events take ever darker, weirder turns. Shot with a silent film aesthetic despite being within the sound era (and a year after Lugosi starred in Universal’s Dracula), VAMPYR is an alternative take on the cinematic vampire, creating an intense, nightmarish atmosphere that haunts the mind long after the lights go up.

After over a year in the wilderness the Cube Blog is back, with big thanks to Marcus for sorting out many behind-the-scenes issues.
I say back, but really we’ve relocated – the new address being https://blog.cubecinema.com/ – update your links ( although the old ones will automatically forward, thanks again to Marcus )
So, no posts at all in 2011! Given that the poster for 2010’s new year’s eve has been sitting there at the top of the pile as the earth has made it’s way all round the sun, whilst riots broke out and the news of the world went down, it seems fitting to me, to post the now equally redundant poster from 2011’s NYE . . .
. . . here’s my costume from the night ( a bit battered after a night of partying ) . . .
. . . the helmet is currently in the alcove in the lounge, and all are welcomed to try it on.
Meanwhile, Kayle and Hogge are now out in the wider world repping The Cube in Haiti with The Haiti Kids Kino Project – details here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Haiti-Kids-Kino-Project/318826924615
. . . and it’s Valentine’s day today, so have a recording of my computer & TheAudrey3000 from the Love Science event a few years ago:

Let Love Rule.

See a report from cube project bioskop . . . here.
Word to Cube vols & friends is : “Today is the day for the big demonstration in London and the vote in Westminster – watch with interest . . !”
On Friday 27th November at 8pm, the Cube see the return of the ever-popular “The Greatness of the Magnificence”. Jesse has assembled a crack squad of musicians, including a small choir, to perform a selection of Ennio Morricone pieces. Morricone is best known for his compositions for Spaghetti Westerns, and collaborated extensively with the film director Sergio Leone.

I feel a bit bad posting and re-positioning the Bluescreen bulletin below, so before I’ll start I’ll say don’t forget Bluescreen is on the 27th . . . it’s actually sandwiched between some other things I want to alert you to too . . .
Some Exciting things ahead . . .
. . . also to promote the big 5th Nov gig, I’ve instigated a project called “One Thousand Watts” where I’m asking people to do quick drawing of Reggie Watts, from memory or description, to decorate The Cube on The Night . . . Reggie doesn’t know, so it will be a surprise and a thank you for a big star playing a small space for a smaller than normal fee . . . please join in and draw – email me or link to a photo / scan if you are outside Bristol.
Good Luck.
Here’s some we prepared earlier . . .
Please join in if the muse grabs you!
