Nitin Sawhney & LSO: Yogoto No Yume
On March 1, 2010, Nitin will be performing at the Barbican with the London Symphony Orchestra on a new live score project.
'I am excited to be developing my live film compositions for the LSO with a new work for Naruse's powerful 1933 melodrama, Yogoto No Yume.
Naruse's stylish cinematography, centred around the tragic world of Japanese barmaid, Omitsu, expresses a hypnotically arresting contemporary social realism that is a gift to score.' - Nitin Sawhney
This soundtrack project sees Sawhney create a soundscape for the 1933 silent feature Yogoto No Yume by esteemed Japanese director Mikio Naruse. A cutting-edge film of its time, it made repeated use of montage, a fractured chronology, and frequent close-ups.
