Escho

Live music compositions are performed to four newly re-discovered short films dug up from the dark side of cinema’s forgotten past. With the addition of new soundtracks, these slumbering slabs of celluloid are jolted back to life to haunt us once again, the interaction of old images and new sounds sparking unexpected surprises, colors, moods and meanings.
Journey of the Soya Bean music by Lamburg Tony and Hyæne
We follow the journey of the humble soya bean in this strangely poetic never-before-seen gem of Danish silent cinema. Lamburg Tony and Hyæne accompanies this industrial travelogue with eletronic sounds, echo box and heavy ethnographic overtones.
Revenge of the Electric Eel music by Thule
This American 1950's scientific short explores the fascinating world of the electric eel. The liquid movements of this peculiar animal are set to music by Thule on the guitar and other electric devices.
Mysteries of the Bat music by Natskygge
More from the world of science, as we learn about the freakish characteristics and bizarre nature of the bat. The monstrous creature is accompanied by Natskygge's haunting ambience and heavy drones.
Mental Hospital music by Alle med balloner og terrasser
This 1953 educational tells in film-noir imagery the story of one troubled man's trip through the Oklahoma State mental hospital, injections, electro-shock and hydro therapy included. Alle med balloner og terrasser sets the mood with playful sounds, inarticulate vocals and stumbling drums and percussion.
