ARS Trio is a darkly twisted experimental Portuguese project composed of Renato Diz on piano, Sergio Tavares on double bass, and Jorge Queijo on drums and percussion.
Despite the plans regarding this project had started in 2009, only recently the band members have reunited in Portugal to record their debut album, Poetics of Sight, strongly influenced by film and released on the W&J Productions, a new record label from New York.
Using imaginative techniques and resorting to unconventional sounds, the trio breaks the barriers of jazz music and steps on cinematic territories, illustrating sceneries that are simultaneously frightening, hypnotic, and curious.

    Gods Go Digging Movie Vs Book Essay

    It is often said that the book is better than the movie. This would certainly be true in the case of a cinematic adaption of Gods Go Begging by Alfredo Véa. It would be hard to capture the beautiful narrative of the novel without having an almost over bearing narrator in the movie. The presence or absence of a narrator within the movie would become a major point of discussion for the team. The opening shot would picture a gray, gloomy day near Potrero Hill.…

    Giovanni Vallero And Claudio Chiara

    I think that the union between Giovanni Vallero and Claudio Chiara is not only artistic: the two musicians are, in fact, tied by a deep friendship and common Piedmontese origins. Giovanni Vallero, born in 1937, is considered one of the greatest composers and interpreters for accordion and has succeeded in creating a style of an unmistakable technique. The passages of this cd mirror the soul, the fancy, the imagination of the maestro while playing jazz with the accordion, in perfect tuning with the sax contralto of Claudio Chiara, irreplaceable traveller companion. The two virtuosos listen each other, are engaged in a chase game, improvise, giving origin to a playful flow of energy, and everything is accompanied by a rhythmic with a good…

    Ecstatic Orange

    The piece Ecstatic Orange makes me associate an image of a suspenseful event with a combination of instruments like trumpets, brass, and trombones. This piece creates an image of a drama/action type play were an unexpected event would take place. The reason being it starts off at a mezzo forte sound then to mezzo piano. As well this piece gives off an image of a lost child in the middle of a Disney park, not knowing what to do, or what’s will occur then. Overall, this piece is uniquely organized in a way it left me with imagery in a state of “dreaming”, or blank.…

    Time And Reality In Chris Marker's La Jetee

    In La Jetee, my interpretation of watching the film was a young man traveling in time as an experiment. Although as I continue watching, there are details within the film such as the background sounds, transitions of photos, and the still photos that give a deeper meaning than of a Sci-fi movie shown this year. In this essay, I will explain how La Jetee uses transitions as well as background sounds to emphasize the still images meaning of time and reality. Chris Marker creates an illusion of time and memory within the making of La Jetee. This film shows a contrast of sci-fi films compared to the more modern ones.…

    Where You Are Moana Analysis

    Music in film can have many purposes. It can change the mood of the audience, alert them to danger, or even be used to give exposition of the story to the audience. The latter, along with its variation, such as a monologue delivered in song, are used to create musicals--a genre used by Disney since its very beginning. For this journal I watched Disney’s Moana to see how it used music to move the plot, and influence its audience.…

    Soundtrack Analysis Of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho

    Callum Watt 000873235-3 Soundtrack Analysis - Psycho In the clip that we are provided (known as “The Murder) we are given a very famous and influential scene from one of Alfred Hitchcock's most critically acclaimed films. Bernard Herrmann, the composer for the movie did a sensational soundtrack with a low budget, and even went against Hitchcock’s wishes of the score to be jazz based. With the low budget instead of using an entire orchestra Herrmann only used strings to create an arguably more tense and dark feel to the movie, Fred Steiner, in an analysis of the score to Psycho, points out that “string instruments gave Herrmann access to a wider range in tone, dynamics, and instrumental special effects than any other single instrumental group…

    The Great Gatsby Death Scene Analysis

    In the film” the Great Gatsby’, Luhrmann aimed to construe the jazz age into the music equivalent to our times (the now). However, according to R. Bassil, Luhrmann failed in capturing the spirit and earnestness of Gatsby’s West Egg mansion parties and stated that it is more suitable for a twilight film or a headphone advert (Bassil, 2013). This essay will disagree with the statement made and will refer to the following three sound techniques found in the film: Diegetic, Non-diegetic and a sound bridge to support the argument. Gatsby’s death scene contains many diegetic sounds combined for example, the splashing of water, gunshots, a butler talking,…
