ALPHAVILLE

about

Completely generated from my brainwaves and machine learning to create an idea for music for a film I want to see someday soon.

Alphaville: une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution (Alphaville: A Strange Adventure of Lemmy Caution) is a 1965 French New Wave science fiction noir film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It stars Eddie Constantine, Anna Karina, Howard Vernon and Akim Tamiroff. The film won the Golden Bear award of the 15th Berlin International Film Festival in 1965.[1][2]

Alphaville combines the genres of dystopian science fiction and film noir. There are no special props or futuristic sets; instead, the film was shot in real locations in Paris, the night-time streets of the capital becoming the streets of Alphaville, while modernist glass and concrete buildings (that in 1965 were new and strange architectural designs) represent the city's interiors. The film is set in the future but the characters also refer to twentieth-century events; for example, the hero describes himself as a Guadalcanal veteran.

Expatriate American actor Eddie Constantine plays Lemmy Caution, a trenchcoat-wearing secret agent. Constantine had already played this or similar roles in dozens of previous films; the character was originally created by British pulp novelist Peter Cheyney. However, in Alphaville, director Jean-Luc Godard moves Caution away from his usual twentieth-century setting and places him in a futuristic sci-fi dystopia, the technocratic dictatorship of Alphaville. Alphaville is not based on any Cheyney story.

They Are Sleeping, Dude Is Walk: I have no idea what the fuck “Dude Is Walk” means. I have less of an idea what this music is. It’s a bizarre, obscenely long collection of experimental sounds, post-rock and exotica that makes little to no sense together but is a hell of an interesting listen. ... there’s interesting things to be found between the tape experiments and noise tracks. - SD City Beat ... more
