music for astronauts and cosmonauts
A unique audio visual experience is promised to fans of film and electronic music at London’s BFI Southbank venue on Friday July 17 2009, starting at 11pm.
Film director Jake Martin of Zik Zak Filmworks/Blacksheep Films, will present a very special UK premiere of his stunning new high definition experimental film work ‘Music For Astronauts and Cosmonauts’, that acts as a kind of visual poem for the album of the same name created by producer and artist Howie B and Icelandic artist Húbert Nói.
Music for Astronauts and Cosmonauts is a real time soundtrack, organised into 4 tracks, Morning, Day, Evening, Night, and running for 90 minutes. This is the time it takes to experience a full Earth orbit. Filmmaker Jake Martin has carefully created an ambient collage of some of the most amazing films from NASA’s collection to mirror Howie and Hubert’s pulsing, mesmerising electronica.
This late night screening will follow a presentation of Stanley Kubrick’s classic sci-fi voyage, 2001: A Space Oddesey, making for a truly cosmic experience.
BFI’s brand new audiovisual club event, Dark Fibre will continue the lunar theme with live AV performances late into the night.
