All The Beauty And The Bloodshed - Live at Reethaus Berlin
ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED - LIVE
2023 - 2024
Renowned sonic arts duo Soundwalk Collective kicks off their “Transmissions” series with the first-ever live performance of their score to Laura Poitras’s Golden Lion-winning documentary film, “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” about internationally acclaimed photographer, artist and activist Nan Goldin. Composed in collaboration with Zacharias Falkenberg and Johannes Malfatti, the trance-like composition echoes various styles from sacred music to modern minimalist techniques, layering choral elements that draw out lyric connections between the beautiful but anguished verse of German poet Friedrich Hölderlin and Goldin’s own life and work.
Soundwalk Collective performs the score live in the intimate inner room of the Reethaus, featuring lead vocals by Mulay, Miriam Adefris on harp, Kornelia Jamborowicz on cello, Youka Snell on viola and choral accompaniment by members of A Song for You Berlin, some of whom sang on the original recording. The performance will be followed by a conversation between Nan Goldin and Soundwalk Collective founder Stephan Crasneanscki about the collaborative process of scoring this highly personal film.
