FANTASTIC PLANET WITH BEN WALSH AND THE ORKESTRA OF THE UNDERGROUND


Sunday, 18th January 2009

Venue: Cockle Bay, Darling Harbour

Tickets: free entry

Time: 8:30pm

Take The Bird, Hermitude, The Crusty Suitcase Band and Ponyclub Massacre and you have the eclectic culmination of artists that is The Orkestra of the Underground. The Orkestra will weave together a live score to the animated film Fantastic Planet.

A musical mashup of horns, sitar, synthesisers, drums, tabla, strings, Indian vocals, guitar, Bosnian Gypsy opera, decks and junk percussion, The Orkestra will weave together a 72 minute score to the animated film Fantastic Planet composed and conceived by Ben Walsh (The Bird, Circle of Rhythm, Tom Tom Club).

Before Manga and Studio Ghibli, the wonderful hand illustrations of René Laloux created a feel somewhere between Where the Wild Things Are and Yellow Submarine. Laloux’s 1973 Cannes French animation La Planète Sauvage (Fantastic Planet) comes to life with a live score played to this cinematic gem. This is animated psychedelic science fiction brought to life by The Orkestra of the Underground, showcasing some of Sydney’s finest musical minds.
