Trawling the murky, metropolitan streets of classic 1940s and 1950s Crime drama this mix takes in elements of 100 Film Noirs in 24 minutes. Bent cops, femme fatales, psychotic hoodlums, gumshoe detectives, loaded guns, and whip crack dialogue. All shot on luminous, smoke-filled, monochrome city streets.
Plus, '
The Dark Corners' come together to improvise a live sound track to Noir.
Adam Bushell - vibraphone and percussion
Alice Eldridge - double bass and electronics
Alistair Strachan - cornet and electronics
Caroline Weeks - treated vocals
