Episode 10 - Enter The Void w/ Dave Harrington, Robbie Seahag Mangano, & Steve Okonski
We are going big for episode 10 with the most psychedelic and intense film to date and I couldn't have assembled a better crew of musicians to tackle it. Today we have Dave Harrington (Darkside) on guitar, Robbie "Seahag" Mangano (Tom Morello, Sean Lennon) on guitar and bass, and Steve Okonski (The National Reserve) on keys and synths. Enjoy!
Episode 9b - 2001: A Scott Metzger Remix
Guitarist Scott Metzger was inspired by playing on the Cinema Improv episode of 2001: A Space Odyssey, so he decided to make his own remix of the session. What he came up with is a very cool and weird piece of music that totally spins the original on its head.
Episode 7 - The Tree of Life w/ Luca Benedetti & Kevin Kendrick
For episode 7, we are tackling the amazing 2011 Terrence Malick film, A Tree Of Life. Guitar slinger Luca Benedetti and Kevin Kendrick (who left his vibraphone at home and brought turntables and synths) came by to help improvise an album while watching the movie. With this trio you really get to hear everyone's musical voices clearly and it doesn't disappoint!
