Films: David Bowie, Bjork, Santana, Red Snapper, and Shredder Orpheus

A documentary film of the groundbreaking David Bowie is exhibition created by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (V&A). Described by The Times as “stylish & outrageous” and The Guardian as “a triumph”, the exhibition features a remarkable collection of photographs, stage costumes, and other rare possessions from the David Bowie Archive. The exhibition was the fastest selling in the V&A’s history and is now on a global tour that has already travelled to Toronto, Sao Paulo, and Berlin to international acclaim, opening next at the MCA in Chicago until January 4 2015.



The film takes the audience on an extraordinary journey through the David Bowie is exhibition with special guests including legendary Japanese fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto, Pulp front-man Jarvis Cocker, and other collaborators, to explore the stories behind some of the key objects that document Bowie’s artistic career. The exhibition curators, Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh, provide fascinating insight into the most memorable music videos and original costumes, as well as more personal items such as never-before-seen handwritten lyrics, album cover artwork, set designs and diary entries, which reveal the creativity and evolution of Bowie’s ideas.



The documentary was filmed on the closing night of the V&A exhibition in London and directed by Hamish Hamilton., the BAFTA winning director of the Academy Awards and the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Guadalajara, Mexico was selected by Carlos Santana and Sony Music as the location for the concert and DVD to celebrate Santana’s Mexican roots and for Carlos to honor Mexico’s people, its culture and its history. The concert was a homecoming for Carlos and a festive kickoff event to mark his critically- album CORAZÓN, a project close to his heart. CORAZÓN, the concert and album project brought Carlos back to his birthplace and celebrates Carlos’ love of his musical heritage, as well as showcases Carlos’ own personal influence on Latin music and on today’s generation of Latin superstars.



The concert documentary entitled “CORAZÓN, LIVE FROM MEXICO: LIVE IT TO BELIEVE IT,” originally aired in the U.S. on HBO Latino on May 3rd, and was simulcast in Latin America and the Caribbean. This was the first time ever that HBO Latino and HBO Latin America have joined forces to premiere a concert event in the US and Latin American regions.



Superstar guest performers who joined Santana at the concert event captured on this DVD/CDinclude Elan Atias, Chocquibtown, Lila Downs, Gloria Estefan, Juanes, Miguel, Fher Olvera (of Maña),Niña Pastori, Samuel Rosa (of Skank), Cindy Blackman Santana, Salvador Santana, Romeo Santos, Soledad, and Diego Torres.

From the opening cut – ‘Card Trick’ – there’s a strong evocation of electric Miles Davis. Ali Friend’s succulent bass leaves all the space intact for David Ayers’ driving wah-wah chops and Tom Challenger’s ring-mod keyboards. Rich Thair’s drums blend the rhythms of blaxploitation and afro-beat effortlessly. But still the sound is as contemporary and innovative as you would expect from the band.



Ali Friend’s vocals are quite a feature in several tracks and he’s someone who knows how to use the timbre of his voice well, always poignant, never overdone. And on the track ‘Traffic’, Ali whips out the electric bass for a change. The results are blisteringly funky. ‘Hyena’ is a reflection of Red Snapper’s work over the last two decades. They don’t just pull it off, they make it sound easy, and that must be the result of touring hard before putting the tracks to tape.



This is more than a soundtrack… ‘Hyena’ is a timeless, African-influenced album which has as much to do with the future as it has the past.

TRACTION.TV is pleased to announce that music composed by Roland Barker from the SHREDDER ORPHEUS soundtrack will be released on 12” vinyl on Halloween, 2014 at On the Boards, Seattle, WA.



Roland Barker (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Blackouts) composed the music for the SHREDDERS, a band put together for the film. Mr. Barker collaborated with drummer Bill Rieflin (REM, Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Blackouts and currently touring with King Crimson), guitarist Dennis Rea (Earthstar, Jeff Grienke) and bassist Amy Denio (Tone Dogs, Spoot Music, Entropics). The 17 music cues weave together a blend of Barker’s hypnotic synthesizer compositions with blistering skate rock tunes featuring virtuosic guitar work by Rea and precision percussion and bass by Rieflin and Denio. Rea, Denio and Rieflin appear in several sequences in the film including the SHREDDERS’ band performances of the WORM SONG and FLYING GUITARS.



The music has had an interesting history beyond the film including the use of “RAMP OUT” (Side A Track 1), which was played by Ministry and/or Revolting Cocks on their tours in the early ‘90s.



The SHREDDER ORPHEUS sound track project was initiated when the original 24 track recordings were found last year in the basement of the On the Boards theater. Robert McGinley, On the Boards founding artistic director and writer/director of the film took a gamble and had the tapes baked and transferred with the help of the soundtrack’s original engineer, Peter Barnes. What they heard after 25 years blew them away. “The analog sound quality was so dynamic and the music was still fresh after 2 1/2 decades in the basement!,” McGinley said. The result is the manufacture of a vinyl LP accompanied by the first time ever release of the rare cult film on DVD that will be packaged inside the jacket.
