Autrefois le centre de la New York bohême, Greenwich Village abrite désormais des restaurants haut de gamme et des magasins de vêtements à la mode pour les nouveaux riches. Toutefois, un magasin situé au cœur du village résiste à l’embourgeoisement : Carmine Street Guitars. Le fabricant de guitares personnalisées Rick Kelly et sa jeune apprentie Cindy Hulej y construisent des guitares artisanales à partir de bois récupéré à partir d’anciens hôtels, bars, églises et autres bâtiments locaux. Rien ne ressemble ou ne ressemble vraiment à une guitare Rick Kelly, ce qui explique pourquoi Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch, pour n'en citer que quelques-uns.

Music for Black Pigeons is the first collaboration between Jørgen Leth and Andreas Koefoed. The film poses existential questions to influential jazz players such as Bill Frisell, Lee Konitz, Midori Takada and many others: How does it feel to play, and what does it mean to listen? What is it like to be a human being and spending your whole life trying to express something through sounds? The characters wake up, rehearse, record, perform and talk about music. In some moments they are on the edge, the edge of existence, constantly challenging themselves. They listen. They devote themselves to finding a space to create a connection to something bigger than themselves. Something that will outlast all of us.

A distilled, up-to-the-minute portrait of our agitated nation, its politics, its economics, its delusions and its dreams. Laurie Anderson's tone is less outraged than elegiac, mourning for lives lost, ideals misplaced. The music is dramatically stripped down to a handful of players, centered around Anderson's haunting violin and voice, frequent Bill Frisell band-mate Eyvind Kang's viola and Peter Scherer's keyboards.

The Great Flood
2012 80 min 8 vues
The Mississippi River Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in American history. In the spring of 1927, the river broke out of its banks in 145 places and inundated 27,000 square miles to a depth of up to 30 feet. Part of it enduring legacy was the mass exodus of displaced sharecroppers. Musically, the Great Migration of rural southern blacks to Northern cities saw the Delta Blues electrified and reinterpreted as the Chicago Blues, Rhythm and Blues, and Rock and Roll. Using minimal text and no spoken dialog, filmmaker Bill Morrison and composer - guitarist Bill Frisell have created a powerful portrait of a seminal moment in American history through a collection of silent images matched to a searing original soundtrack.
