Video game music is a world of its own. Its composers have drawn inspiration from great classical masters such as Beethoven and Wagner, while also echoing the styles of Erik Satie and Francis Poulenc. Why does the theme from Tetris fit its ever-accelerating gameplay so perfectly? What makes the music accompanying the dungeons in The Legend of Zelda so distinctive? Max Dozolme explores the stories, influences, and musical ideas behind some of the most iconic soundtracks in video game history.

A total solo. In the center of a huge space, alone on a constantly shrinking stage, Jeanne Added engages in a hand-to-hand ballet with the camera. With Both Sides, Jeanne Added has invented a pure performance by sculpting her playing space into this huge white stage, suspended in the middle of nothing. Alone, without any pomp, the artist gives herself over completely to her vocals and dancing. An allegory of the dance floor, of a space that, by shrinking, opens itself up to immensity; or the struggle of a solitary figure, who fights while dancing, as the ground moves beneath her feet. The film of this live performance is unusual: a visual confrontation, a powerful musical battle, the pared-back presentation invites the spectator to share a unique experience. Exuding a singular and unique charm, this “living UFO” gives us an unprecedented perception of Jeanne’s intense music.
Infusing punk rock with a spoken word sensibility, Ireland's Enola Gay bring untamed wildness to Echoes with Jehnny Beth. An explosive encounter with their first two EPs: Gransha and Casement.
