L'INFERNO - OPENING SPECIAL EVENT
Within the 2016 thematic framework dedicated tothe underground (caves, caverns, and the Hereafter), the Film Festival della Lessinia commissioned Mauro Ottolini to create a new musical accompaniment for Francesco Bertolini’s L' Inferno, performed here in a world premiere with the screening of the film, newly restored by the Cineteca di Bologna. The new score of this almost unknown masterpiece of Italian cinema has a rock, visionary, almost pulp matrix, in which amongst the author’s original compositions are two tributes, to the blues of Skip James and to Saint and the Cyber Lady by Charles Mingus.
Music and original arrangements by Mauro Ottolini performed live by Mauro Ottolini (trombone, conductor), Franz Bazzani (keyboard), Enrico Terragnoli (guitar), Valeria Sturba (violin, theremin, electronics), Vincenzo Vasi (theremin, electronics, special effects, voice), Danilo Gallo (bass), Guido Bombardieri (sax, clarinet) and Gaetano Alfonsi (drums, electronics).
