On July 29 2025, JG Thirlwell<\/strong><\/a> will perform a live score to the legendary Harry Smith<\/strong><\/a> film Heaven and Earth Magic<\/strong><\/em> at Nitehawk Cinema<\/strong><\/a> by Prospect Park in Brooklyn. “Heaven and Earth Magic” is a 1962 avant-garde stop-motion animation. Its surreal imagery, drawn from cutups of 19th century catalogs, has a mystical and hypnotic quality that has entranced viewers for decades.<\/div>\n

This will be a solo performance by Thirlwell in immersive four channel sound, performed on keyboards with computer \/ sample programs and theremin. The score was commissioned by L\u2019Etrange Film Festival<\/strong> in Paris and premiered there in 2024. This is the first performance in North America.<\/div>\n

Sonder<\/strong> <\/em>was conceived, directed and scored by Thirlwell and filmed by Sebastian Mlynarski<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
