Ensemble Modelo62

Seventh in the MFR Contemporary Series. Ezequiel Menalled composes a new soundtrack for Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin (1925), performed by Ensemble Modelo62 and recorded at their Hague studio on 13 March 2020. Six acts span the film's structure, internalising the frantic editing in shifting layers, pulled focus and forced perspective. Realised in the spirit of Eisenstein's wish that a new score be written every twenty years, the music becomes a speculative meta-version of the film.
