Laura (ローラ殺人事件) Trailer 1944
Directed by Otto Preminger, starring Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Clifton Webb, Vincent Price and Judith Anderson.  Music by David Raksin.

Preminger hired David Raksin to score the film. The director wanted to use "Sophisticated Lady" by Duke Ellington for the main theme, but Raksin objected to the choice. Alfred Newman, music director for Fox, convinced Preminger to give Raksin a weekend to compose an original tune. Inspired by a Dear John letter he had received from his girlfriend, Raksin wrote the haunting theme for which Johnny Mercer later wrote lyrics. It eventually became a jazz standard recorded by more than four hundred artists, including Stan Kenton, Dick Haymes, Woody Herman, Nat King Cole, The Four Freshmen, and Frank Sinatra. (WIKI)

Also, MFQ (Modern Folk Quartet) featured the song on their 1985 "Moonlight Serenade" album.

Ryan Francesconi & Kane Mathis has released the duo album "Songs from the Cedar House" via Sweet Dreams, e mail: info.sweetdreams@gmail.com)

The facts, as far as may be ascertained, are as follows. In 1769, Wolfgang van Kempelen, at that time in Vienna, was invited by the Empress Marie Theresa to attend certain magnetic experiments shown at the Court by a certain Frenchman, M. Pelletier. He went but said he could invent a machine far more surprising. In 1770 he returned with the automaton, a machine which could play chess and beat really good players. He exhibited it in Vienna in 1770, in Russia in 1776 and in Paris in 1783 where Benjamin Franklin, the American statesman-scientist, studied it. In 1783 it was possibly shown in London. In 1805 von Kempelen's son sold it to Johann N Maelzel, himself a mechanical genius, said by some to have invented Beethoven's metronome. Maelzel took it on tour and in 1809 Napoleon is said to have played a game against it during the Wagram campaign.

Odd Girl Out - Richard Barone/Jill Sobule



Odd Girl Out - Richard Barone/Jill Sobule
Taken from the "Glow" album via Bar/None, 'Odd Girl Out' was co-written by Barone and Jill Sobule, the song tells the true story of a lesbian in the pre-Stonewall days of the West Village. 


Glow is the new solo album from Richard Barone, guitarist and vocalist for cult faves the Bongos. The album is a sonic delight; like a lost solo Beatle album from a glam-rock future-world. After taking a break from performing to produce others and write a book, Barone is back working with his long time friend and favorite producer Tony Visconti along with Steve Addabbo, Jill Sobule, Paul Williams (co-write “Silence Is Our Song”), Smithereens drummer Dennis Diken and others, Glow positively glows with great songs like "Gravity's Pull," "Yet Another Midnight" and a captivating cover of Marc Bolan's "Girl." The king of chamber pop does not disappoint on this stunning new addition to his catalog.

Peter Broderick "How They Are"



Peter Broderick - Human Eyeballs On Toast (Studio Recording)
From "How They Are" available via HUSH Records store.
Recorded April 22, 2010 at Type Foundry Studio, Portland Oregon, USA.

WATCH :: more videos from "How They Are"



After completing work on the elaborate forthcoming follow-up to his vocal debut, Home (HUSH, Bella Union/2008), musician/composer Peter Broderick went into the studio with the goal of recording and mixing an album in one day, live to 2” tape, with no overdubs or punch-ins. Only voice, piano, and guitar. How They Are is this record.  (HUSH)




a year is round
This animated video was created by a collaboration between She Animates (Matt and Kate) and Peter Broderick - a composer / musician, well known for being an adopted member of Efterklang, and recordings/tours with several groups/musicians (Horse Feathers, M. Ward, She & Him, Norfolk & Western, Laura Gibson, and many more).

This simple idea happily came to life with a lot of patience, some nimble prop making skills and the gift of a charming guitar from our good friend Johnny. Pleased with the outcome we decided to send it to one of our favourite musicians Mr. Peter Broderick, whose music inspired the initial idea. We were over the silvery moon when Peter agreed to soundtrack it for us.    Matt and Kate

Marc Ribot "Silent Movies"






















Silent Movies, the new release from guitar great Marc Ribot, finds him taking another surprising step in a career filled with unexpected turns. The album reflects Ribot’s fascination with movies and contains pieces intended to function as music for films: some are adaptations of music he has actually written for films, others for classic silent movies that he scored for his personal amusement, still others for films of his own imagination. His goal is to explore, as he says “the strange area between language and spatiality that exists partly in between music and visual image, and partly as a common property of both.” 


Marc Ribot - The Kid
Marc Ribot - Delancy Waltz

Marc Ribot's "Silent Movies" is due out on September 28th via Pi Recordings.


Performed in complete takes, with only minimal atmospheric overdubs, Silent Movies was partly inspired by his experience preparing for a live accompaniment of the Charlie Chaplin film The Kid at Merkin Concert Hall in January 2010 as part of the New York Guitar Festival. Some tracks were composed for “El General,” Natalia Almada’s documentary film about Plutarco Elías Calles who ruled Mexico with an iron hand from 1924 to1935 and still others for the unreleased movie “Drunk Boat.” All of the compositions were written by Ribot except “Sous le Ciel de Paris,” the title song from the classic French movie by Julien Duvivier that was made a hit by Edith Piaf among many others.
