505: blade runner revisited at meltdown festival

bladerunner_ford2.jpg


io9.com sez: Mixing 1980s SF dystopia with electronica, this year’s Meltdown Festival in the UK will include a couple of performances that may be of interest to fans of Philip K. Dick, Ridley Scott or DJ-friendly orchestras. (…) Plus the festival will give fans even a special one-off IMAX screening of Blade Runner: The Final Cut along with a hipper, younger version of the soundtrack. (…) will include a collaboration between the Heritage Orchestra and Massive Attack, performing Vangelis’ complete soundtrack to Ridley Scott’s 1982 adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?.

    i’ve googled around a bit and found (among other, less interesting things), that last year, a 3 cd 25th anniversary edition was released from blade runner’s music.
    disc 1: original soundtrack
    2: unreleased + bonus tracks
    3: new music by vangelis inspired by the movie.
    good hunting! ^^

The television skies of Chiba City branded his brains in 1992. He hasn't recovered fully since. Re-wired his brain with a few years of FastTracker, hosted radio shows on the first .hu netradio for 4 years, went on to broadcast radio for another two. Worked on the absurd radio series Kónuszék, that actually led him to become a script writer for the multiple-award winning animation Nyócker.

Started LD50 in 2001, an alternative community portal for some, a media experiment for him. DJ'd and organized for 6 years @ Budapest: the first weekly gothic/industrial clubnights, the VK/jrock Nippon Shoxx and the biggest local industrial/cyber party series called Kollektíva, among many. Key figure behind the cyberpunk PDF magazine THE DOSE and he's making a comeback with it.

He's currently an IT/science journalist, with a love for weird stuff, Asian cuisine, pop culture, energy drinks, coffee and chili, eyecandy, Japan and a life-long devotion to all things cyberpunk & slipstream.
