Noise Of Art

Film & Music Arena

Noise of Art is delighted to debut "Love Bites", a contemporary dance of the vampires, at Latitude festival. In partnership with the BFI and films from the National Archive, Noise of Art will feature some of the earliest Vampire silent films (the Vampire genre goes back to 1909 - 20 years before Nosferatu was made). The sound track to Love Bites has been specially created for Latitude festival by a collaboration between They Came From The Stars I Saw Them, Serge Santiago and Les Hommes Du Train (the alter ego of Noise of Art founder) Ben Osborne. 

They Came From The Stars I Saw Them are veterans of the UK's indie dance scene and are the closest thing the contemporary music world has to legendary Kraut rockers, Can. The band are currently going through a purple patch, with recent songs becoming surprise radio hits, TV Commercial music and TV themes, while their live shows have seen them spread their wings from playing rock venues to pack out nightclub dance floors. 

Serge Santiago carved a name for himself as resident at legendary long running disco ‘Stompa Phunk’ and as half of the legendary Radioslave production duo with Matt Edwards, he is currently renowned as the UK's foremost producer of contemporary Italo Disco. Taking his inspiration from the film scores of people such as Jon Carpenter, his music is often dark and moody and always percussively complex. And he's guaranteed to get any dancefloor going. 

Les Hommes Du Train uses analogue sounds and live recording techniques resulting in dance music that embraces disco, techno, dub, house and rock, without being any of them! Love Bites will be preceded by a unique live version of Piccadilly Nites, featuring 80 year old silent movie footage of London clubbers filmed in 1928, set to new club music by Les Hommes Du Train. 

The Immaculate Extremists will perform the interactive Love Bites vampire show for the first time at Latitude festival; the performances will emerge and blend into the dancefloor ….and to complete the 360 degree experience, Prick Image's unique flying projections will ensure the vampires are not confined to the dancefloor.
