Villa Aurora from dublab on Vimeo.

On Thursday, March 24th Villa Aurora, dublab & Goethe-Institut Los Angeles presented…An Evening of Silent Film, Pipe Organ and Dubstep Sounds. The evening was an unprecedented program pairing the sounds of Villa Aurora’s historic pipe organ played by Christoph Bull with cutting edge electronic music composed on the spot by Asura.

The two created a live, improvised score to the following silent films:

A Trip to the Moon, 1902
Alice in Wonderland, 1903
Employees leaving the Lumière Factory 1895
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, 1910

This unique collaboration arose as a result of Villa Aurora resident filmmakers, Lillian Rosa and Julian Neville’s, exploration of the thriving Los Angeles dubstep and beat scene. dublab was thrilled to help produce this salon presented live in front of an intimate audience in the magnificent Villa Aurora estate perched atop the green, ocean side hills of Pacific Palisades.
