Saw another lovely thing in the #Pianodrome, a semi-secret gig by S!nk, their house band, making a live recording of a soundtrack to accompany a screening of "Battleship Potemkin". One of a series of silent movie soundtracks they were commissioned to make years back and are now recording, with a luckily invited audience to lend them a receptive atmosphere

Learning now there's a whole genre of Battleship Potemkin soundtracks, including one by the Pet Shop Boys!

Enjoyed the experience. I've never sat so still trying to be silent! The trio rattle around switching instruments, not always the piano in the mix. There's a wee bit of electronics. The score sometimes dominates the film, sometimes the other way round, sometimes gels perfectly

They're doing it again tomorrow and still have space free, if you're interested PM me for the link :) #Edinburgh

Saw the #Pianodrome sort-of house band do a lunchtime recital yesterday, most of it was (relatively) straight trio of piano, strings, woodwind. But they also did this wonderful jamming experiment with the "zombie piano", a piano stripped right back to its resonant guts, played with all the parts scavenged during its disassembly

This absolutely says "algorave, but analogue" and is now part of my fantasy crossover night there

A magical evening at the #Pianodrome watching the extremely talented Brothers Gillespie. Beautiful brotherly heartfelt harmonies in a very special Edinburgh venue.
