French Electro duo Air creates score for a 100 year old Sci Fi film
In 1902 the first science fiction movie of significance was created called Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To the Moon). It was not til recently however, that director Georges Melies’ hand painted color reels were recovered and refurbished for viewing.
The reason I’m excited about this, is because AIR was commissioned to create the music score for this 100 year old film. They had short notice to compose the music, and watched the film over and over for a month, to the point they said in an NPR interview, they felt like they were right there with the people from 1902 on the team. It must have felt a little like time travel. On the release night they were very “stage freight” about how the music would be received by audiences, given the importance of the film, but of course it was marvelous. AIR will be releasing their score in a few days, To read more about this and listen to the radio interview click on over to NPR music.
The power of postitive thinking can go a long way! To remind myself to think positive thoughts (and because I simply loved the vintage styling of the typography) I bought this poster from Eva Juliet available here on her etsy shop.
This is Jamie, a NYC photographer who attended fashion week dressed to the nines in outfits inspired by fashion icons. Read all about it and see more fabulous pictures on her blog. It’s refreshing to see just how lovely retro but classic looks still work in 2011. She looks great!
