ONLY UK SHOWS Based on stories by HP Lovecraft, with visuals by Danielle de Picciotto. Avant-garde cabaret masters the Tiger Lillies join forces with Alexander Hacke of Einsturzende Neubauten to pay tribute to the fantasies of influential gothic writer and founder of 'cosmic horror', HP Lovecraft. Mountains of Madness is a spine-chilling musical performance based on some of Lovecraft's eerie stories, including The Rats in the Walls, At The Mountains of Madness and The Call of Cthulhu. Tales of ancient gods, inexplicable terror and lost souls are brought to life in strangely beautiful, sometimes humorous and melancholy songs. The trademark penetrating falsetto, musical saw, piano, bass and assorted musical instruments of the Tiger Lillies are accompanied by Alexander Hacke's ethereal electronic soundscapes and narration. The production features visuals by artist Danielle de Picciotto and lighting is by Lutz John, known for his work with Einsturzende Neubauten. As a result of several months of work, Alexander Hacke and The Tiger Lillies co-present their musical performance which is based on some of Lovecraft’s eerie stories such as "The Rats In The Walls”, "At The Mountains Of Madness," and " Cthulhu Mythos." Martyn Jacques’ penetrating falsetto, the musical saw, the piano and the stand-up bass are being surrounded and accompanied by Alexander Hacke’s electronic soundscapes: Up until now, The Tiger Lillies have never been accompanied by electronic instruments in any collaborative effort. In "At The Mountains Of Madness", stories of ancient gods, inexplicable terror and lost souls are being lastingly brought to life in a sometimes humorous, yet gloomy and melancholic manner. The eccentric confrontation of The Tiger Lillies' rather traditional array of instruments with Alexander Hacke’s sound compositions give this performance its ghostly three- dimensional depth in which an open-minded audience can immerge in with a glee of enjoyment. The production’s very special stage design is the work of artist Danielle de Picciotto. DVD's of MOM live in Berlin will be available at the concert. | ||||||||||
