Filmkonzert: Midori Hirano x The Juniper Tree (1990) – Heroines of Sound Festival / Heroines Edition # I

The Japanese composer and pianist Midori Hirano presents a new live soundtrack for the overlooked arthouse fairy-tale film The Juniper Tree in her pre-release concert. The film also marks the first screen appearance of a young Björk. Combining electronic textures, piano compositions, and finely balanced sonic spaces, Hirano reimagines the film as a contemporary sound experience, creating a sensitive dialogue with the poetic imagery of US filmmaker Nietzchka Keene.

The film concert celebrates its German premiere shortly before the soundtrack’s release on VIERNULVIER Records. The introduction will be given by Wouter Vanhaelemeesch, initiator of the Videodroom series and music programmer at Kunstencentrum VIERNULVIER in Ghent.
