JULIE TIPPEX CINECONCERTS
Introducing a brand new roster of Julie Tippex’s artists performing cine-concerts.
Many of these projects were commissions from La Cinémathèque Française in Paris.
NOSFERATU (DW Murnau). A commission from the Cinémathèque française in 2022 on Murnau’s Nosferatu.
Emmanuelle Parrenin plays the hurdy-gurdy, Quentin Rollet the saxophone and Jérôme Lorichon (Zombie Zombie) the analog synthesizer.
Standing ovation at the Cinémathèque française in front of a full house: from first-time viewers (many young people who were discovering the film), subscribers or fans of Murnau, this audience reaction was unanimous.
Jean-François Rauger, programming director of the Cinémathèque even said that it was the most beautiful accompaniment of Nosferatu that he had seen.

The band has recording the soundtrack for a DVD released by Potemkin.
