We are really happy to announce our first collaboration with Soho House Barcelona presenting the Raster Noton electronic producer Kangding Ray.
"Le Sang d’un Poète" (1930), an avant-garde film directed by Jean Cocteau, will screen along the performance.
LiveSoundtracks y Short&Sweet unen fuerzas para el lanzamiento de un nuevo ciclo de eventos: Cinematic Tales.
Con Cinematic Tales, LST continúa con la exploración de nuevos conceptos y formatos para explorar las conexiones entre cine y música. Cinematic DJ Sets, proyecciones de cortometrajes y bandas sonoras en vivo a cargo de artistas invitados.
La peculiaridad será que los artistas invitados interpretarán música para una pieza cinematográfica la cual conocerán el mismo día, incentivando de esta forma su creatividad e interacción con las imágenes, que van a interpretar de una forma inmediata e instintiva. El público asistente tampoco conocerá cuáles son los artistas invitados hasta su llegada al evento.
El evento inaugural de Cinematic Tales tendrá lugar el Sábado 5 de Noviembre desde las 14:00h a las 20:00h en Wer-Haus. Los asistentes podrán vivir una tarde de música inspirada en el cine, proyecciones de cortometrajes y jam sessions audiovisuales.
Este primer evento del ciclo girará en torno al cine africano, con la proyección de un programa de películas dirigidas por autores africanos y un Cinematic DJ Set de afrobeat a cargo de la DJ argentina afincada en barcelona Sonido Tupinamba. Además, habrá comida especialmente elaborada para la ocasión. Para acabar la velada, alguno de los cortometrajes proyectados serán seleccionados y musicalizados en directo por los músicos que quieran sumarse a la jam sesión audiovisual dirigida por el equipo de Making Music in Silence.
Programa:
14:00h - 16:30h: Cinematic Dj Set
16:30h - 18:00h: Proyecciones Cortometrajes
18:30h - 20:00h: Jam Session

Anna Mastrolitto, director and founder of LiveSoundtracks, and invited artist Jaime L.Pantaleón, along with the composer Jesús Díaz, will talk about the professional world of soundtracks, giving the clues to success in one of the more valued and intangle aspects in the world of cinematography. Also, some shortmovies made during the Black Factory Cinema's masterclass "Filming Barcelona with Abbas Kiarostami" will be showed accompanied with live music by Jaime L. Pantaleón.
LST’s new series of events will be held between January and May 2016, on the third Tuesday of every month. The events will be held in the Sala Hiroshima in Barcelona, Time Out Barcelona 2015 winner for best innovative project.
Five international artists will present performances in which, following LiveSoundtracks’ philosophy, the esthetic of cinema meets the paradigm of live electronic music.
Three female and two male performers form a lineup which seeks to explore the international music scenes with electronic music acts ranging from experimental and industrial, all the way to ambient and noise sounds: Samuel Kerridge (UK) feat. Taylor Burch, Deena Abdelwahed (TN), Rabih Beaini (RL), Kyoka (JP), AGF (DE).
For the coming cycle "Poetry in the Darkness" (Barcelona, January -May 2016), LiveSountracks invites artists and directors to submit material connected to the cycle’s theme, which will inspire the creation of a new soundtrack and its live performance by one of the LST musicians.
Music offer will include electronic music acts ranging from experimental and industrial, all the way to ambient and noise sounds. The full line-up will be announced on December 15th during the event presentation at the Sala Hiroshima.
LST Poetry in the Darkness is co-curated by Antye Greie, aka AGF, German artists, poet, producer, and, above all, tireless creator of experimental interdisciplinary performances, all of which have music in common.
The cycle of performances will be supported by 5 workshops called “Soundtrack Composition: new trends and topics in soundtrack composition” led by Jesús Díaz of Making Music in Silence
LiveSoundtracks #1: Lena Willikens - live set on Japanese Girls at the Harbor (directed by Hiroshi Shimizu).
On one side we have one of the most gifted talents around today, Lena Willikens, with her ability to intertwine styles, stories and dancefloor geometries into something which never fails to surprise and entertain; on the other we have a masterpiece of japanese cinema, “Japanese Girls At The Harbour” by Hiroshi Shimizu, a silent film shot in 1933, whose beauty and innovative style is still intact today.
They met during the spanish project LiveSoundtracks, for the creation of a live soundtrack and the result is a little gem now ready to shine at roBOt Festival.
LiveSoundtracks #2 and Black Factory Cinema: Jaime L. Pantaleón - live set on 7 shorts from the masterclass Filming in Barcelona with Abbas Kiarostami
An omnivorous musical mind, from jazz to post rock, to metal and indie - always original, always carrying a particular and unpredictable touch. Jamie L. Pantaleón is a volcano of ideas, and some of these have been “captured” by the LiveSoudtracks project which asked the spanish musician to undertake a live soundtrack of seven shorts produced in Barcelona during a masterclass conducted by Abbas Kiarostamo, one of the masters of contemporary cinema. The result is a compounded, fascinating and multifaceted soundtrack which Jamie is now ready to present as a world premiere at roBOt.
