»Musique De Film Imaginé« (»Musik für einen eingebildeten Film«) ist ein Soundtrack, der den Hut vor den großen europäischen Filmregisseuren der späten Fünfziger und Sechziger Jahre wie François Truffaut und Jean-Luc Godard zieht und der aus der Feder von Anton Newcombe für das Brian Jonestown Massacre stammt. Gäste bei dieser ambitionierten symphonischen Erfahrung sind die französische Sängerin SoKo und die italienische Schauspielerin, Sängerin und Regisseurin Asia Argento.

Der Track »We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow« war Teil des viralen Videos »First Kiss«, das 63 Millionen Views sammelte und im letzten Jahr bis auf Platz 9 der Billboard Hot 100 kletterte. Asia Argento hat in Videos für Marilyn Manson, Placebo und Tim Burgess gespielt. Beide Beiträge sind auf Französisch gesungen.

Anton Newcombe nahm »Musique De Film Imaginé« im August 2014 nach einer erfolgreichen Europatour in Berlin auf: »Das Album, das ihr hören werdet, ist ein Soundtrack, meine eigene Schöpfung, ein Tribut an die großen Filmemacher und eine Ära, die nun hinter uns liegt. Was einen mit dem dumpfen Gefühl zurücklässt, dass diese Kunst nun verblasst. Das Interessante daran ist, dass es den Film gar nicht gibt. Trotzdem habe ich mir den Soundtrack ausgedacht. Es ist nun am Hörer des Soundtracks, sich den Film vorzustellen.«

Product Information

»Musique de film imaginé« (»Music for film imagined«) is a soundtrack that pays homage to the great European film directors of the late 50's and 60's, such as François Truffaut & Jean-Luc Godard (to name but two), created by Anton Newcombe on behalf of the Brian Jonestown Massacre for an imaginary French film.

Guests on this daring symphonic experience are French chanteuse and multi-instrumentalist SoKo and Italian actress, singer and director Asia Argento. SoKo is signed to Because Music and her track »We Might Be Dead by Tomorrow« was featured in the viral video »First Kiss«, which has garnered over 63 million views and debuted at number 9 in the Billboard Hot 100 last year. Asia Argento, who has starred in music videos for Marilyn Manson, Placebo and Tim Burgess, recently wrote the storyline for ASAP Rocky's music video and short film »Phoenix«, which has had over 5.5 million hits. Both vocal performances are in French.

Anton Newcombe recorded »Musique de film imaginé« in Berlin in August 2014, after a successful European tour for the Brian Jonestown Massacre. Anton says: »The album that you are about to hear is a soundtrack, my own creation, a tribute to great directors and filmmakers to an era that now seems to be behind us. Leaving the smart person to care to imagine that this art could now be in the shadow of its former glory. The interesting thing about this project is that the film does not exist either. Even so, I imagined and I realized its soundtrack... Now it's your turn, you are the listener to imagine the film.«

Brian Jonestown Massacre returned last May with their 14th full-length album evelation' to critical acclaim. It is the first album that was fully recorded and produced at Anton Newcombe's recording studio in Berlin and was released on his record label a recordings. Named in tribute to the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist and his influence in introducing Eastern culture and music into the world of Western Rock & Roll, Brian Jonestown Massacre formed in San Francisco, California in 1990. Two dozen band members later and numerous »ups and downs« (some have been famously sensationalized in the media), the one thing that has always remained consistent for this psychedelic collective, is front man Mr. Anton Alfred Newcombe.
