The highly acclaimed musician Circuit des Yeux presents a hypnotic and haunting new live score, enhanced by Alan Sparhawk (from the legendary indie band Low). The duo makes optimal use of Club Wintercircus's immersive sound system for a unique cinematic and sonic experience.
F.W. Murnau’s notorious, unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula features an unforgettable Max Schreck in the lead role as Count Orlok: a creepy vampire who lures his victims to his shadowy castle in Transylvania. Authorized or not, Murnau's ghostly masterpiece remains the ultimate Dracula film adaptation more than a hundred years (and at least as many versions) later.
About Circuit des Yeux & Alan Sparhawk
The work of Haley Fohr (Circuit Des Yeux), a Chicago-based musician, composer, and artist, is not easily categorized. Her oeuvre includes critically acclaimed albums, experimental folk, free improvisation, painting, audiovisual installations, and compositions for large ensembles. She creates mesmerizing, emotionally layered music that touches the human soul. Fohr’s voice is a powerful, almost supernatural instrument with a range of four octaves, effortlessly switching between soft melodies, animalistic sounds, and deep, elemental wails. She utilizes this full range in maximalist compositions that fearlessly navigate between genres and styles.
Since 2007, she has been releasing music as Circuit des Yeux on labels such as Thrill Jockey, Matador, and Drag City. Her recent albums have appeared on numerous year-end lists, including those of The Wire and NPR. Her latest album, Halo on the Inside, was released last year on Matador Records and received overwhelming praise from Pitchfork and The New York Times. "An artist who increasingly, and excitingly, has no equal," according to Bandcamp Daily.
