Innovation was the tool of choice in the early days of cinema, and it’s with this quality that Dziga Vertov created his ground-breaking documentary movie The Man With A Movie Camera back in 1929. Almost 80 years later multi-instrumentalist Jason Swinscoe and his Cinematic Orchestra took upon the classic movie with the same innovative vigor with which it was originally created, composing a new score to the classic, layering the classic with atmospheric jazz compositions, repetitive chords and wonderful arrangements, capturing and reflecting the motion of every day life, its repetitions and sequences.

The evolution of ideas is, like the evolution of man, a peculiar thing. This set, starting at one point with a clear idea, and going to another place, makes you wonder at what point did our evolution start, and what was the idea behind it. At the end, of course, just like here the idea doesn’t really matter, it’s all about the music.-
