Tuesday, October 7 at Visulite Theatre 1615 Elizabeth Avenue, Charlotte, NC 28204
Doors Open: 7:00 - Headliner Begins: 7:30 Admission: $10 (18 +)
The 3-person band Devil Music Ensemble is one of the primary American groups in the field of silent film accompaniment.
Devil Music Ensemble has composed a score for Red Heroine that pulls from the traditions of Chinese classical and folk music,
as well as soundtracks from classic kung fu cinema. Red Heroine tells of the rise of a woman warrior. Made at the height of
the martial arts craze in 1920s Shanghai, it is one of the few complete silent martial arts films. Made at the height of the
martial arts craze in 1920s Shanghai, this lively tale about the rise of a woman warrior features the genres then-characteristic
blend of pulp and mystical derring-do. A rampaging army raids a village and kidnaps a maiden, causing the death of the young
womans grandmother. At the generals lair, the captive maiden faces imminent rape, but is lo and behold rescued by the mysterious
Daoist hermit, White Monkey. Three years later, Yun Meireemerges as a full-fledged warrior,
ready to deploy the magic powers learnt from White Monkey to avenge her grandmothers death. The Devil Music Ensemble consists of
three multi-instrumental musicians from Boston who have established themselves as one of the primary American groups in the field of
silent film accompaniment. Known for their tightly-synced, genre-bending, hypnotic musical performances that can make an audience
forget there is a live band directing the mood, emotion, and pace of the visual imagery they are immersed in. The score that the
DME has composed for Red Heroine pulls from the traditions of Chinese classical and folk music, as well as soundtracks from
classic kung fu cinema, and is the only modern score made expressly for this film.
