Review: Paramount Room
File this under collaborations we really never saw coming. Chicago post-rock supergroup Tortoise has decided to team up with Nosferatu and ... Macy's ... at ... the Symphony Center?! Chuck this one up to the all-powerful clout of Metro's Joe Shinnyhan.
The band will be providing the musical accompaniment to F.W. Murnau's seminal -- and it's so rarely you can honestly use that word, but this is one of those times -- silent vampire flick. Sometimes Tortoise gets a little too jammy for our tastes, but those times are few and far between, and this time we suspect the group will be unusually sharp as they attempt to do these iconic visuals sonic justice.
This show is part of the year-long celebration of Metro's 25th Anniversary. We've noticed that the events connected to this anniversary have been getting more and more inventive, leading us to believe that they're all heading towards some sort of brain shattering cumulative event. Or maybe they're not. Either way, kudos to them for putting together this strange little concoction.
Tortoise provides the accompaniment to Nosferatu during the Macy's Day of Music event at the Symphony Center on Saturday, October 13, 8 p.m., free, all ages welcome.

Tortoise will probably do this very well. Brown Whornet did it well too.

Don't know about how this other band did it.

Does anyone remeber "Silent Films, Loud Music" (I think that's the title) that used to take place from time to time at the Vic? I saw an excellent screening of "Nosferatu", with an original score, and haven't ever been able to find out more anout it.
if you haven't seen the metro 25th anniversary video gift to joe shinnyhann, 'historical monents in history', do yourself a favor and watch it.
Click the linky for Shinnyhan goodness!
I'm so glad you posted about this! What a perfect union of music and ovie.
err, movie
Thanks for the heads up on this one. I know that the Murnau Film Archive folks have done a recent restoration on 'Nosferatu', (it's coming out on DVD in November), so I'm hoping that this print might be one struck from the new materials. Even if its not, this should still be a cool event. And it's free.
