ATLAS Concert & Film Screening:
The Boulder Laptop Orchestra (BLOrk)
Performs Live Music for Classic Silent Film
Come by and see something truly different! The Boulder Laptop Orchestra (BLOrk) uses traditional acoustic instruments plus electronic instruments combined with and modified by the creative use of laptops and software. The performing artists/musicians are students and faculty of CU’s College of Music and directed by faculty members John Gunther and John Drumheller.
They will perform live original music for the screening of the silent film “The Call of Cthulhu.” The film is the first adaptation of the famous H.P. Lovecraft story and uses Mythoscope, a blend of vintage and modern filming techniques intended to produce the look of a 1920s-era film.
