Man With a Movie Camera will play Sunday night at 8pm. The avant-garde, silent film by Dziga Vertov is a 1929 montage of images of every-day life.
But while the film is great, the soundtrack is even better.
The Alloy Orchestra, a nationally-renowned trio who accompanies silent film, will play their original score to the movie.
The best part about this orchestra is their rack-o-junk, a collection of, er...things that make music, which may include any or all of the following:
2 or 3 gongs
4 horseshoes
2 truck springs
random bells
metal pipes used as chimes
a metal bedpan
a real drumset torn apart and spread out
cakepans used as untuned steel drums
Pots
pans
cowbells
a giant xylophone made of 2x4's
Alloy never fails to put on a good show, so come and show your love, because it is, after all, Valentine's Day.
