Production details
+ support. Six-time Grammy nominated trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas and his Keystone band have collaborated with experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison to compose an entirely new score for Spark of Being, a reimagining of the Frankenstein story. Ambient and loosely structured, with its own brand of timelessness, it moves alongside grainy black-and-white footage to create a timeworn world where Frankenstein really existed. Innovative guitarist Gary Lucas - one-time member of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band and a writer and contributor to Jeff Buckley's Grace - has composed a solo guitar score for a different, more full-blooded Dracula: the 1931 Spanish film version as directed by Enrique Tovar and George Melford. An atmospheric evening bent on bringing back to life one of the darkest creatures in literature.
