Description

“The Adventures of Prince Achmed” turns 100 years old this year. The collection of vignettes from Arabian Nights directed by Lotte Reiniger is the oldest feature length stop-motion film that exists on record. Working closely with composer Wolfgang Zeller throughout the development process on the original score, Reiniger’s animation is fused with musical beats that offer a playground for reimagined live scores. 

Here, Order of the Illusive spins their own score with Geoff Gersh on guitar and electronics, Bradford Reed on the pencilina (an instrument of his own design) and drums, and Zach Layton on 17 string bass and effects. With a modern approach to live scoring using the sounds of experimental and ambient rock (ie. Can, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Sunn 0))), Pink Floyd and Brian Eno), Order of the Illusive have a flexible and spontaneous language they bring to live scoring. In their repertoire are greats like Metropolis, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligary, Joan of Arc, Nosferatu, Peter Pan, and The Phantom of the Opera
