Sans Visage [LP]

Felicia Atkinson – Sans Visage [LP]

Director Georges Franjus horror classic Eyes Without A Face from 1960 is a hauntingly beautiful film that since its initial releasemired in controversyhas earned a rightful place in cinematic history. A black and white fairytale that deftly balances between fantasy and realism, clinical detachment and intense emotion, beauty and pain it isonce seen impossible to forget. For the 2024 edition of the annual Videodroom film festival in Ghent, composer and visual artist Flicia Atkinson wrote and performed a brand new score for the film.Sans Visage brings her sparse piano and glacial electronics to the front, a lovingly constructed hommage to the film that underlines the still devastatingly current themes it so brazenly explored.LP includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by writer and musician Claire Cronin on Eyes Without A Face and additional artwork by illustrator and experimental comic artist Momo Gordon.
