Eraserhead Film screening with Live Music at Bushel Oct 13

DELHI — Bushel is pleased to host a film screening of Eraserhead (1977, David Lynch dir.), with live music accompaniment by a five-member ensemble, on Sunday, October 13, 7–9 pm. Bushel is located at 106 Main Street, in Delhi. Doors at 6:40 pm; program begins at 7 pm. $20 suggested donation. Attendance is limited; please reserve your seats on Bushel’s website, www.bushelcollective.org/events. 

This is the first in a new series Cine Sonica: Film Concert Live, curated and organized by composer and pianist Mihoko Suzuki. David Lynch’s iconic cult classic Eraserhead tells the story of a man who is left to care for his grossly deformed child in a desolate industrial landscape. With respect to Lynch’s original score and sound design, the live ensemble will add another layer of soundscape that enhances the surreal, dream-like, yet haunting atmosphere. With dissonant harmonies, irregular rhythms, and electronically manipulated timbres, the ensemble aims to explore a realm of uncertainty together with a sense of unease and disorientation that permeates the film.

The performers (in alphabetical order) are Tim Cramer (bass); Paul Geluso (sax, clarinet, and flute), Michael Suchorsky (drums); Mihoko Suzuki (keyboard); and guest vocalist, Rhiannon Catalyst.
