Famous Chicago musicians in doc preview at The Hideout
By Ruth L Ratny July 25, 2011
FANS OF GREAT BANDS and ground-breaking Chicago composers and musicians of the ‘90s are invited to The Hideout Wednesday, July 27, to see a preview of a feature doc by Paris-based filmmakers, called Parallax Sounds.
In short, award-winning Italian director Augusto Contento, who lives in Paris, aims to show “two sides of the city” and how it inspired Generation X’s transformational music, as exemplified by five world famous Chicago artists.
And just what are those “two sides of the city?” Are you ready? According to producer Giancarlo Grande, they are … our big brutal winter and glorious hot summer. (Think about it.)
Chicago’s great musicians featured in the doc are producer/guitarist Steve Albini, (Nirvana, Cheap Trick); singer/instrumentalist Ian Williams (Battles); jazz musician/composer/improviser Ken Vandermark, named by the Reader as 2011 Best Jazz Musician; vocalist/keyboardist Damon Locks (The Eternals), the Reader Best’s 2011 Dancing Front Man and composer/singer/guitarist David Grubbs.
“Interviews with the musicians are about the experience of the ‘two cities.’ When you hear the music you know the city,” says Grande, who has fallen in love with Chicago (weather notwithstanding) its architecture, friendly, helpful people, and wants European cities to know Chicago as he and Contento have discovered it.
Parallax’ budget of $400,000, supported with a Dreihaus Foundation grant, is shy $100,000, says Grande, but they are hopeful of filling the gap and The Hideout event will help.
“We want Chicagoans to be part of this, to be engaged in a movie about them and that show the feeling of the city, its beauty and culture” says Grande, who would have a great future in city tourism if he settled in Chicago.
When the film wraps in October, they would love to screen at Sundance and thereafter at film festivals in Europe.
The $20 Hideout ticket includes the doc preview, a DJ set by Damon Locks, other special guests, food and drink, 5:30-8 p.m.
