Circuit des Yeux feat. Alan Sparhawk presents Nosferatu (1922)

A screening of F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent horror film Nosferatu, with a live original score by Circuit des Yeux and Alan Sparhawk of Low, at the ICA in London.

Nosferatu (1922) is F.W. Murnau's silent expressionist horror film, an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Max Schreck plays Count Orlok, a vampire who lures his victims to a shadowy castle in Transylvania. Although the film was made without permission, it remains the reference version of the story more than a century later.

This evening pairs the film with a live original score by Circuit des Yeux, whose recent albums have appeared on several year-end best-of lists, among them those of The Wire and NPR. Their latest album, Halo on the Inside, was issued by Matador Records. Alan Sparhawk, an American alternative rock musician born in Seattle in 1969 and active since 1993, accompanies the score. He is also a member of Low, the Duluth band, and released his first album, Solo Guitar, in 2006.

The concert takes place at the ICA in London, a venue that hosts concerts and shows, and suits those interested in silent cinema and early horror.
