Programme Note
Silent film score for Entr’acte by René Clair from 1924 embodies the Dadaism and Absurdism in the air at the time. This new score makes subtle reference to Erik Satie, the composer of the films original music, but attempts to look at the film afresh. Images have an aesthetic flow without subservience to narrative. The subjectivity of the images and the lack of dialogue/text, allows an immense space for a musical dialectic to take place. Motives and harmony are set in motion to create a new context and framing of the images, propelling both towards their hectic conclusion, whilst still adhering to the dada/absurdist spirit of the film.
