RanestRane i Cineconcerti

Cinema or concert? Well both!


The CineConcerto is the staging of a live concert, accompanied by the projection of a full movie. This is not just live image, but a real Rock-Opera, built on the rhythm and the suggestion of image and narration. 

The original sound of the film (at times left together to the music of the band), is almost entirely replaced by the lyrics of RanestRane to help the viewer to follow the natural texture of the film.

The dialogues of the characters are enriched and integrated by the lyrics, the narrative viewpoints become new and unexplored.
RanestRane have created in this way, through live rock music, the lyrics of the original texts, images, copyright and dialogues (in English) of the film, a new musical vision that is called CineConcerto.

Our advice is to watch the movie and listen to RanestRane at the same time. You will find out that RanestRane is more than just a rockband.

RanestRane the Band

RanestRane

RanestRane are an Italian progressive rock band formed in Rome in 1998.

Their speciality is writing concept albums which take inspiration from art films such as "Nosferatu the Vampyre" by W. Herzog and "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick. The band composes a new musical soundtrack closely following the scenes of the movie, and the result has been called "Cine-concert”, making their live shows a quite unique experience.

In 2012, the band performed with Steve Rothery during the annual “The Web Italy” Convention on a couple of classics from Marillion’s catalogue. This occasion gave birth to the idea of a musical collaboration for Ranestrane’s new album which is based on Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Steve Rothery contributes solo and atmospheric guitars on the tracks Materna Luna and Monolith (Part two). Steve Hogarth also joined the project writing both lyrics and vocal melodies for the songs Mementoes and Cenotaph.

In November 2013, RanestRane released “A Space Odyssey - part one – Monolith”, with a special guest appearances by Steven Rothery and Steve Hogarth. This is the first part of a trilogy. 

On February 5 2015 they released on DVD&CD the new LIVE ALBUM "Monolith in Rome - A Space Odyssey Live", filmed and recorded in Rome at Crossroads Live Club, featuring Steve Rothery.

Nosferatu il Vampiro

The idea was first to achieve a "concept album", ie
a work that would follow from the first to the last track a single narrative theme,
and only at a later time it has surfaced in our minds the idea of ​​supporting
this musical project a filmic story that could do the background and
emphasize the theme and the music performed.
Having head the great films made for some works of rock
past (The Wall, Tommy, and more recently Brave Marillion), we immediately
understood the difficulty embodiment of such a project, because, for
self-production as ours, it was not possible to make a film on the original
an existing work of maintaining acceptable costs.
So we decided to choose a film already made and groped by
create on it a new musical texture, work that could even
to suggest that the film had been created for our music and not the other.
Of course, the task was daunting, but perhaps, if we had found a great movie
Copyright and impact and with a narrative rhythm is not too tight (you
lend, then, a musical narrative far-reaching and not
necessarily "soundtrack"), perhaps we could in our
intent.
After three years in the making, not without problems, we went at last
staged in a small room in the capital: we do not remember much about that night
because, after all this work, the fear that something would go wrong was so great, but
compliments of the audience were so sincere and spontaneous that we have done
understand that our "Nosferatu" could be important not only for us but
even for someone else.
So we continued to offer our "cine concert" with ever
greater conviction, trying to amplify the wonderful images of Herzog
with our music and our lyrics in a more and more profound.
Not only that, we have in fact started a new project
"Cine concert" (clearly on another film) supported in the effort, from
the public support that old and new shows us regularly for three years.
We never thought of playing this work for so long and for so many
people and even start a new one, but fortunately we were wrong.
We were wrong to think that for something different musically and artistically (though not necessarily beautiful, you will judge) there were "prepared hearts":
you are our mistake, you are looking for something different, you are those "hearts prepared."
