The culmination of their endeavor took place in the spring of 2023, on\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ethe 100th anniversary of Man Ray's inaugural foray into filmmaking, when the newly\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003erestored Return to Reason premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eProduced by Womanray (Marieke Tricoire) and Cinenovo (Julie Viez), Return to\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReason unfolds as an anthology featuring four silent short films by Man Ray-Étoile\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ede mer (1928), Emak bakia (1926), Le Retour á la Raison (1923), and Les Mysteres du\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChâteau de Dé. (1929)-each paired with an original score by SQÜRL.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJarmusch and Logan, two multi-disciplinary artists known for their experimental\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eprowess, approached these scores as a way to create an ecstatic state, a space between\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003econsciousness and unconsciousness, reality, and the surreal. The resulting album,\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMusic for Man Ray, born out of a live recording at the Centre Pompidou in Paris in\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFebruary of 2023, features distorted guitars, hypnotic feedback, loops and affected\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003esynthesizers. In the words of Logan, \"It's a journey we want to take the audience\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eon, illuminating themes throughout these films. They are discrete, but there are also\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003erecurring echoes throughout the whole program.\" Jim Jarmusch adds, \"We feel very\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eproud to be Man Ray's backup band.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow both the film Return to Reason and the resulting music in the form of Music\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003efor Man Ray are seeing the light of day-both stand as a testament to the creative\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003esynergy between Man Ray's groundbreaking cinema and the innovative musical\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003einterpretation by SQÜRL.","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58363651653957,"sku":"SBON341C3.1","price":6.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/8881\/6197\/files\/squrl-music-vinyl-records-squrl-music-for-man-ray-original-soundtrack-clear-vinyl-843563173695-sbon341c3-1-41238130917628.jpg?v=1782303752","url":"https:\/\/midnightukvinyl.com\/products\/vinyl-squrl-music-for-man-ray-original-soundtrack-clear-vinyl","provider":"MIDNIGHT GROOVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
