Die Abenteure des Prinzen Achmeds (Adventures of Prince Achmed) Film Concert
Steven Kamperman & special guest Eric Vloeimans - SPOT/De Oosterpoort, Kleine zaal
Program Info: Steven Kamperman - Die Abenteure des Prinzen Achmeds
Composer, alto clarinettist and drummer Steven Kamperman has built a great name for himself in recent decades as an enthusiastic soloist and composer of thrilling musical theatre productions. As a new project, he wrote a soundtrack for the magical film Die Abenteure des Prinzen Achmeds by Lotte Reiniger from 1926. This silent animated film was not drawn but completely cut.
With the filmed stories from 1001 Nights as a guideline, the music is also inspired by the Middle East, with Kamperman drawing on his decades of experience with Turkish and Arabic makams. Blues and colourful improvisations can also be heard between the melodic lines. His work often has different layers and unexpected twists. Adventures of Prince Achmed takes a musically adventurous journey in which the music accompanies the film, but the film also accompanies the music. This time, special guest trumpeter Eric Vloeimans acts as reinforcement. His whisper-soft tone adds its own layer to the whole.
