»Shrek« / Film with live music: »Shadows choose their horrors«
Marc Ribot & Rootless Cosmopolitans - Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal
Program Info: Marc Ribot guitar Anthony Coleman keyboard Brad Jones bass Ches Smith drums Chad Taylor drums
»›Rootless Cosmopolitans‹ was the first record over which I had full control,« says Marc Ribot about the album he released in 1990 as the first under his own name. So, it is also the album that is the entry point into his fascinating work for many of his fans and it enjoys a particularly high profile. With the Rootless Cosmopolitans, Ribot brings together all the different styles and influences he tried and tested separately for years for the culmination of the »Reflektor« Festival dedicated to him and presents an original horror soundtrack in the second part of the concert.
As a result, his own compositions and numerous cover versions, such as the Beatles classic »While My Guitar Gently Weeps«, provide ample room for noise, free improvisation and rock. With pianist Anthony Coleman and bassist Brad Jones, two musicians from the original line-up with whom Ribot recorded the »Rootless Cosmopolitans« album and its successor »Requiem For What’s His Name« in 1990 and 1992 are here in the concert at the Elbphilharmonie. The group is completed by the extraordinary drummer Ches Smith, who also plays with Ceramic Dog.
In the second half of the concert, Ribot plays his own soundtrack to the film »Shadows choose their horrors«. It is the dark and melodic diary of a necromancer living on the edge between the mortal world and the realm of lost souls. Sinister forces surround Madame G (Winsome Brown) as she tries to bond with her favourite undead. Using magic and ritual to give them new life and pleasures, Madame G is shocked by the devastating outcome. Marc Ribot provides this experimental re-working of the early silent film horror with an equally experimental guitar soundtrack that reinforces the film’s goosebump-inducing atmosphere.
