about

This latest offering from CINEMA SOLORIENS, Cult of Saint Margaret, recorded in Manchester, reveals the core trio of James Harrar, tenor sax, Akai EVI, electric bulbul tarang, electronics & percussion, Marshall Allen (Sun Ra Arkestra), alto sax, Crumar EVI, Casiotone & effects and Rogier Smal, drums & percussion, also adding Graham Massey (808 State), guitar & modified bass clarinet, Paddy Steer, bass & electronics, David Birchall, percussion and Richard Harrison (Spaceheads), percussion.

Since beginning this ambitious project 20+ years ago with Marshall Allen, leader of The Sun Ra Arkestra, filmmaker/musician James Harrar sees CINEMA SOLORIENS as a constantly evolving creative and spiritual learning center.

CINEMA SOLORIENS is a primarily multi-media performance consisting of James Harrar’s experimental and highly personal film and video images with a live musical rendering of soundtracks for each film. The musical concepts are created, directed and performed by Harrar with the core of Marshall Allen, Rogier Smal with a stellar changing line-up of gifted musicians.

The project places attention on exploring the moving image with live performance and when combined, an attempt to reveal deeper levels of interpretation within Harrar’s visceral film poems. These presentations also celebrate the early beginnings of cinema, providing live music to support and elevate the silent movie experience.
