ABOUT:
Music and image are inextricably linked in cinema. Blade Runner. Solaris. A Clockwork Orange. You see and hear them, and the music alone can conjure some of these films’ most iconic moments.
In A Clockwork Orange and Beyond, we explore the innovations that shaped a generation of trailblazing composers and their film scores.Wendy Carlos opened the floodgates to a new, unique sound world in the 1960s. With her Switched-On Bach albums, Carlos interpreted Bach for the electronic age, bringing the Moog Synthesiser and electronic music into mainstream pop. Her music paved the way for the likes of Brian Eno, Kate Bush and generations of musicians across funk, pop, rock and more.A Clockwork Orange is considered as much Carlos’s film as Stanley Kubrick’s. Her blend of original composition with synthesised treatments of classical music was audacious and wildly influential. Meanwhile, UK musician Delia Derbyshire gave Australian composer Ron Grainer’s theme for Doctor Who its indelible sci-fi sound.Taking its cue from the innovations of Carlos and Derbyshire, while looking back to Hollywood’s golden age, sits the music of Vangelis, John Williams and Hans Zimmer – some of the most affecting and iconic in cinema.Joining Richard and the ACO for this sonic feast is the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble, a uniquely innovative synth band led by Goldfrapp’s Will Gregory, with synth musicians including Florence and the Machine keyboardist Hazel Mills.
