#3136: With Michael Nyman
The eminent English composer, film maker and photographer Michael Nyman discusses his original soundtracks to silent films, his new video work, and his penchant for recycling music – his own and others’.
With the advent of his own record label, MN, he has been able to reissue his back-catalogue of recorded music. We’ll listen to some of these releases, many of them film scores to both Dziga Vertov’s films and others by Peter Greenaway. Hear selections from the score to Vertov’s silent masterpiece silent “Man With a Movie Camera,” “The Eleventh Year,” and “A Sixth Part of the World.” Plus, he discusses his own film, “Nyman With a Movie Camera,” and more.
