It can be as disturbing as a sequence of Lost Highway. As disturbing as the plot of Mulholland Drive. Or perhaps as dreamlike as the plot of Twin Peaks. What is clear is that leave no one indifferent. U.S. director David Lynch has been chosen to lead one of the concerts Unstaged, an initiative that combines two radically different disciplines, music and film, with the Internet as a vehicle transmitter.
The more strange, more beautiful will put managers under the baton of the charismatic filmmaker will be Duran Duran, kings of the mainstream music of the eighties known as the New Romantics and authors of some of the most memorable anthems of the decade, as Ordinary World and Girls on Film.
"The strangest, most beautiful to be," said the band's keyboardist, Nick Rhodes, who has predicted that "the combustion of David and we can create something that nobody has seen before, something mysterious, magical and amazing." Not surprisingly, Lynch is, for members of Duran Duran, a filmmaker accustomed to working "completely outside the system".
The concert will be held on March 23 at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles at ten p.m. (six o'clock, Spanish time), will be broadcast live over the web youtube. com / duranduranvevo. The event will take place one day after the publication of new and highly anticipated album of the band fronted by Simon Le Bon, is titled All You Need is Now.
Unstaged initiative, launched three bands by American Express, Vevo and YouTube, started last August 5, 2010. He did it with a concert by Canadian indie rock band Arcade Fire, whose implementation was provided by the equally restless Terry Gilliam, former member of Monty Python and director of films like The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
The experience was a success and some of its highlights are among the most viewed videos in the popular group's video portal. A month later, on September 23, Spike Lee (who was behind the camera in films like Malcolm X and Clockers) directed the second installment of Unstaged, who had musical starring John Legend.
The third and last to date was Oct. 18, when the country music duo Sugarland was made with director and choreographer Kenny Ortega, responsible for the hit Disney High School Musical. For if the possibility to see live concert conducted by a renowned filmmaker in itself was not sufficiently attractive, Unstaged made accessible to the user the ability to interact with the show.
Internet users can leave their questions to the group a day before the concert, vote if they want an encore or change the camera angles through YouTube. It will never be the same as seeing live, but the experience promises to be unique.
