Noise of Art and BFI Announce Recording Partnership
 

The BFI and Noise of Art will celebrate their new recording partnership with a launch party for their first release ‘Piccadilly Nite Version #1’ (to be released in the early Spring).
 
The first single to be released by the new partners is part of a planned series featuring rarely seen historic gems from the National Archive reworked into short films and set to new music.
 
The launch party will take place at the BFI’s new state of the art Southbank complex and will feature the debut showing of the single and a live performance using scenes from ‘Piccadilly’, EA Dupont’s s classic film about London clubs in the 1920s, as well as the first showings of forthcoming Noise of Art/ BFI releases from two other artist.

With film from the BFI National Archive and live electronic music, Noise of Art launches the first release from the new partnership between the BFI and Noise of Art Recordings. Inspired by EA Dupont's British 20s night-life classic Piccadilly, 'Piccadilly Nite Versions #1' sees a nu disco soundtrack, by Les Hommes du Train, being set to a re-edited short version of the film, with some unexpected results.

For the second debut of the night, acclaimed electronic producer Vector Lovers will perform Day in the Life of a Coal Miner (filmed in 1910) for the first time. We're also pleased to welcome A Man Called Adam back for a rare performance of their superb commissioned score for Visit to Peek Frean and Co's Biscuit Works (1906).

Rounding things off, Punx Soundcheck make their debut live performance, also revealing their new AV partnership with Machines Are Gonna Kill Us; and finally Ben Osborne and Overlap reveal their new live AV interpretation for the 'Piccadilly Nite Versions' series
