Beatboxer and composer Jason Singh performs his live vocal score to John Grierson’s monumental silent film Drifters. Drifters follows North Sea herring trawlermen through their dramatic daily routines as well as the industry’s struggles between tradition, modernity, technology, the environment and nature. Jason’s score is a totally unique performance combining live vocal sound effects, voice manipulation, beatboxing and live sampling to create an exhilarating cinematic experience.
Drifters – Director: John Grierson | UK/1929 PG, 40 min
