Musik von heute für Filme von vorgestern

Kleines Kammer-Ensemble neben großer Leinwand: „Küspert & Kollegen“ greifen die Atmosphäre des klassischen Horror- Stummfilms ebenso auf wie von Slapstick und Melodram. Und richten sich an ein Publikum von heute: „Unsere Musik klingt nicht wie traditionelle Stummfilm-Musik, sondern zeitgenössisch und unvorhersehbar“, sagt der Gitarrist und Komponist Werner Küspert. „Küspert & Kollegen“ haben sich bereits durch die ganze Frühgeschichte der Kinokunst gearbeitet. Werner Küspert schreibt für sein Ensemble zeitgemäße Musik - teilweise auf punktgenauen Einsatz komponiert, während andere Passagen viel Raum für Improvisation und Interaktion lassen. In den letzten Jahren waren "Küspert & Kollegen" in aller Welt als Botschafter der deutschen Kultur unterwegs (u.a. im Auftrag des Goethe-Instituts, des Auswärtigen Amtes und der EU).
SILENT FILMS LIVE JAZZ Today’s jazz for the films of yesteryear A small chamber ensemble next to the big screen: "Küspert & Kollegen" take up the atmosphere of classic horror silent films as well as slapstick and melodrama. And are aimed at an audience of today: "Our music doesn't sound like traditional silent film music, but contemporary and unpredictable," says guitarist and composer Werner Küspert. "Küspert & Kollegen" have already worked their way through the entire early history of cinematic art. Werner Küspert writes contemporary music for his ensemble - partly composed for pinpoint accuracy, while other passages leave plenty of room for improvisation and interaction. In recent years, "Küspert & Kollegen" have toured the world as ambassadors of German culture (on behalf of the Goethe Institute, the German Foreign Office and the EU, among others).
