Chateau Flight is Parisian house duo
Gilbert Cohen
and
Nicolas Chaix
(aka
Gilb'r
and
I:Cube
). Chateau Flight is the latest electronic act to soundtrack for silent movies, and they have composed a score specially written for
Les Vampires
(1915), a sulfurous feuilleton of 10 episodes by French director
Louis Feuillade
.
Les Vampires
was close to being banned for its quasi-apology of criminals, who are presented a lot more seductively than the "good force," which is primarily due to the magnificent
Irma Vep
(incarnated by the actress
Musidora
, dressed in black and the first vamp and femme fatale in the history of cinema!). Being first and foremost criticized despite its great public success, the series, packed with its quasi-improvs and its dark poetry, is considered one of the most unique and sophisticated pieces of silent film. This CD features eight tracks, all untitled, varying and placing itself somewhere at the border of electronic music, original soundtrack and Krautrock/experimental stuff. In Spring 2006, Gaumont asked Chateau Flight to do a 40-minute soundtrack illustrating the third episode of
Les Vampires
, "Le Cryptogramme Rouge," for their luxurious DVD Special Edition. The duo decided to work with a computer and a Viscount Orgue (known for its vintage sound), among other multiple effects. After a week of spotting and experimenting, where the duo called upon the phantoms of the Pere Lachaise cemetery which is close to the studio, the two artists had doubts about their results and invited guitarist
Nicolas Villebrun
(of the band
Poni Hoax
) who brought in some more dramatic textures and the missing touch of improvisation. The phantasmagorical and pre-surrealism of Feuillade is omnipresent on this release, a long odyssey of combining and handling vintage and contemporary technology in constant variation.
