for almost two decades now , steven severin’s solo instrumental work has largely kept its own counsel in the shadows . the output of the former co - founder and bass player of siouxsie and the banshees has been prodigious , with a dozen albums of dark ambient soundscapes released thus far . this began in 1998 with visions , an extended reworking of his soundtrack to nigel wingrove’s short film , visions of ecstasy , almost a decade before . unreleased until 2012 , wingrove’s sensual fantasia inspired by the writings of saint teresa of avila is the only film to have been refused a certificate by the british board of film censors on the grounds of blasphemy . since then , severin has released scores for theatre and film , including the soundtrack for supernatural thriller london voodoo and richard jobson’s film the purifiers , as well as for one - time edinburgh festival fringe dance performer / director , shakti . since severin himself moved to edinburgh twelve years ago , he has become even more prolific , with soundtracks to jean cocteau’s 1930 silent movie blood of a poet , and , with his actress wife arban , collaborations with director matthew misory , first on delphinium : a childhood portrait of derek jarman , then on joshua tree , 1951 : a portrait of james dean .

joshua tree 1951 follows james dean ( the handsome james preston ) on his first steps to becoming the international icon of youth and rebellion . the film is a series of revealing and sometimes dreamlike vignettes that blend autobiographical and fictionalised elements to present a pivotal moment in a remarkable life . we follow jimmy dean during two periods of his life prior to becoming the international star that we all know today . in 1949 , he joins ucla as an acting major , a decision which ultimately estranged him from his father . whilst there he wrestles with the mental and sexual constraints and boundaries of society and while demonstrating great acting skills he rebels against the system he finds himself within . whilst in california he also starts to experiment with his sexuality , and finds solace in the beds of both men and women . the film ' s ' present tense ' is in 1951 , as dean drives to the desert of joshua tree , california . along for the ride is the roommate ( dan glenn ) , a struggling actor who lived and loved with dean whilst at college . the friendship and intimacy he provides gives dean a sense of security before embarking on his own path . matthew mishory presents his first feature ; a brutal and honest exploration of dean ' s complicated sexuality and formative relationships ; joshua tree , 1951 redefines the boy behind the image for a new generation . includes short film , delphinium : a childhood portrait of derek jarman

matthew mishory ' s a portrait of james dean : joshua tree , 1951 , some will argue , is a triumph of style over substance . at it ' s best , the character - driven film is a lush , romantic tone poem and teasing snapshot of a kind of optimistic , materially abundant southern california life which swept darker currents under the rug . dean ' s beachside tete - a - tete with a sultry blonde boy is a highlight , but other sections are sometimes less compelling , and though only 93 minutes in length , it could be more concise .

there ' s no shortage of cinematic biographica on the storied james dean , including tnt ' s pedestrian james franco - starring tv flick of some years ago , but indie director matthew mishory has mounted a decidedly experimental take on the dean legend in his a portrait of james dean : joshua tree , 1951 . filmed in crisp , painterly black - and - white , the opening shots – done in the desolately beautiful titular desert hamlet – suggest the stark nature photography of ansel adams , and he ' s only the first of several notables which come to mind .

at this point , the film ' s visuals evoke the faintly homoerotic photographic layouts and films of bruce weber , not to mention calvin klein ' s legendary underwear ads of the ' 80s and ' 90s . less so gus van sant , who , like tom waits , seems to revel in the scruffy and un - pretty . the characters in a portrait of james dean , particularly the males , all seem airbrushed into a sometimes eerie , sun - kissed physical perfection . i guess it ' s possible that the film could simultaneously be denounced and celebrated as a queer appropriation of dean ' s life , depending on one ' s political persuasion .

ss : i don ' t quite remember , but nigel insists that he interviewed me in plymouth in 1977 or something , for his fanzine . and i half recognised him when i met him in a soho nightclub called fred ' s in the late ' 80s . he was chatting away and said he was just about to start doing this short film , and would i be interested in doing the score ? and i immediately said yes , and it all went ahead , and it was a complete bombshell that it got such an adverse reaction from the video censors commission , or whatever it was called , the board . i don ' t think i learnt too much about scoring films , because it was only 18 minutes long , and it was all pretty much done in a couple of days . but what was really enlightening was the court case that followed . it all took place in an institute of hygiene , somewhere in portland place [ the royal institute of public health ] . on one side you had derek jarman , marina warner , colin maccabe , all standing up [ for wingrove ] , not particularly in support of the artistic merit of the film , but just the idea that it shouldn ' t be censored on the grounds of blasphemy . and it wasn ' t that the censors found the film blasphemous , it was the fact that they thought they could be prosecuted for blasphemy . that was their remit from the director of public prosecutions ; that they couldn ' t give any certificate to anything they thought might incur some sort of private lawsuit .

musically close enough to the differing cure and banshee styles to attract large sections of both sets of fans , the more experimental nature and references to 1960 ' s psychedelia and pop - art also attracted a more eclectic audience . the use of keyboards and synthesizers , as well as the inclusion of instrumental only tracks , were also an early pointer to severin ' s post banshee musical output .

ss : i just read a lot of the critiques of it and anything that spins off from that , really . vampyr is loosely based on sheridan le fanu ' s short story carmilla , so i read that . all of these things . . . now that you have the internet you can just keep going and going and going !
of course this was at the height of the satanic verses and the last temptation of christ scandals and brouhaha , and they basically picked on this little english first - time director , with no studio behind him , and they thought they could just swat him away . but of course he fought on to take it to strasbourg and the hague , and inadvertently that springboarded my solo career . he was convinced that he was going to get the ban overturned when he went to the court of human rights , and he said why don ' t you make a whole album to go with the release of the movie ? of course i went ahead and did the whole album , only for the film to have its ban continued ! and it left me with an album that no major company wanted to touch , because there was no film to hang it on . so inadvertently i got a solo career out of it , plus started my own label through the internet , but none of that would have happened without visions of ecstasy .
ss : yeah . . . well , if i ' m being charitable a lot of people would say that they had unfinished business , meaning that they felt the lifespan of the band was cut short for one reason or another . it ' s different with the banshees . we had a long , long career - a continuous flow - so there ' s nothing left to say . the whole point of doing the reunion tour was to see if we did possibly have anything more to say . there was talk of if the tour went well then maybe we could go into the studio and write a new album . but of course that never happened , because things have moved on and people have changed . and the same chemistry definitely wasn ' t there anymore .
ss : initially it ' s a lot of watching , re - watching and researching , until i start to know the film back to front . and then the actual writing of the music is really quite fast . i just pick one scene that i ' m instantly attracted to in terms of music and start from there . it ' s a bit like a jigsaw . you just fill in the gaps and think , oh , that piece could work there as well , slightly adapted . you get a feel for the pacing as you go along . and that ' s the other thing with the three films i ' ve chosen : i ' m sort of working my way up in terms of time . when i first thought of the idea i was a bit daunted by doing 90 minutes straight off . how i could keep the audience enthralled for 90 minutes ? so i started with much shorter films and worked my way up . and even vampyr is just 72 minutes long . it ' s not like a modern day feature .

steven severin : well , there ' s a fairly limited supply to start with . and then you whittle down all the ones that have been done to death , like metropolis and nosferatu , and i just choose ones from the remainder . and once i began doing this they kind of picked themselves . i really liked doing the seashell and the clergyman . it had practically no narrative to it , it ' s one of the very first surrealist films ever made . following that , once i looked again at the blood of a poet , it became obvious that that would make a good sequel . and then when i looked at vampyr i started to see connections between all three . there ' s a single male protagonist in all three movies , it ' s in a world that is not quite making sense , and you cannot control it in any way , shape or form . they ' re at the whim of events . that made a nice little trilogy for me .
ss : yeah , it has both . for the most part , people don ' t come to me expecting something i wouldn ' t do . they choose me for a reason . i ' ve had varying degrees of success with these things . some people leave you totally alone , and everything you do they say is great and works perfectly , but that ' s kind of rare . more often than not , you do something and people just want it altered slightly , or when it gets down to the dreaded editor it gets chopped and changed . we both work to this idea that what we do is a lot more immersive than a lot of film composers . it ' s not like we just make up themes and give them those ; we actually work almost frame by frame with the film . part of what we do is a bit like sound design . so when editors start to mess with the exact placement of where you ' ve put something , that drives you mad . but it ' s a small price to pay for having so much fluidity with the rest of the work .
ss : exactly . when you have something this old , many people have approached it to try and figure out what is going on . there are a lot of questions left unanswered in the movie .

mishory first eavesdrops , albeit briefly , on the bedroom of rimbaud , circa 1873 , attempting to draw comparisons between the 19th - century parisian poet and the fragile , poetic soul of dean . he skips to a house in fairmount , indiana , where dean was raised , then whisks his camera to a casually decadent pool party in the hollywood hills in 1951 , when dean was a struggling actor , mulling over whether to continue his education at ucla or devote all energies to his beloved craft . the lush , noir - lit cinematography lulls you into a visual reverie , interspersed with brief home movie - like clips in color , while you ' re still deciding what to make of the languorous narrative pace .
the first of four download - only new works released over the next month , the vril harmonies is a spaced - out instrumental suite that appears to draw inspiration in part from the coming race , an 1871 novel by edward bulwer - lytton which charts the discovery of a superior subterranean master race fuelled by an energy form known as vril . the book’s life - enhancing elixir not only gifted bovril half its name , but inspired theosophists such as rudolf steiner and george bernard shaw to buy into its philosophy . more recently , graphic novelist grant morrison and readers of fortean times have been similarly fascinated by the power of vril .
a little - seen masterpiece finally gets the la screening it deserves . thrilled to be here tonight .

in 1989 you recorded a score for nigel wingrove ' s short film visions of ecstasy , which was the only film banned in britain for blasphemy . it was finally passed by the bbfc in january this year , following the abolition of the blasphemy laws in 2008 . how did you became involved with that project ?
ss : oh yeah . there was a lot of initial resistance from the people at eureka , because they ' d spent a lot of time and money restoring the sound on the film , which is basically the music , but there is a little bit of dialogue . and they were a bit baffled as to how i was going to change it into a silent film when it ' s a sound film . i didn ' t see anything , but apparently on their forum there were people outraged . but they don ' t own the film ; they own the restoration . so i felt i ' m entirely justified in doing what i did . some people - very few actually - questioned whether it ' s an actual performance or not , because it ' s basically coming off a laptop , but i deliberately enter the cinema once the house lights have gone down , and sit in the dark so that my physical presence doesn ' t take away from watching the movie and listening to the music . i ' m not quite sure what people would be expecting me to do in terms of a song and dance or whatever ! the way i ' ve done it is exactly the way i wanted to present it . if people have a problem with that i ' m sorry , but they can go and watch something else .

even if a confidence and supply arrangement is reached with the dup , only nine tory rebels will be required to defeat the government ( may will have a working majority of 17 once the seven sinn fein mps [ who do not take their seats ] , the speaker and his three deputies are excluded ) .

ever since she became prime minister , theresa may has avoided mounting a vigorous defence of the conservatives ' spending cuts . though she did not break with austerity in practice , she did in rhetoric . but at today ' s pmqs , after a week of confusion , may doubled - down on cuts .
that the most important tory story was that the 1922 committee was urging the pm to put a bit of stick about and sack ministers who rock the boat . the hostility towards the leakers has only grown over the last 24 hours , and forms the basis of today ' s
theresa may told eu leaders today she would deliver a

the considerations which respect the right to hold this conduct , it is not necessary on this occasion to detail . i will only observe that , according to my understanding of the matter , that right , so far from being denied by any of the belligerent powers , has been virtually admitted by all .
for now , two things are holding may in place : the fear of an early election and the fear of something worse . labour’s surge has left the tories dreading defeat if they go to the country again . as i noted last week , the opposition needs a swing of just 1 . 6 per cent to become the largest party and one of just 3 . 6 per cent to achieve a majority . were the government to lose a confidence vote , an early election would follow unless an alternative administration could be formed within 14 days .
george owes his own adjective to this book alone and his idea that wellbeing is crushed by restrictive , authoritarian and untruthful government .
he used to be utah’s top federal prosecutor . now , brett tolman is trying to change the system he was a part of .
far earlier than she hoped , may has learned the iron rule of conservative politics : once a leader is judged a loser they will only serve as long as the party wants .
he said it was also a shame mrs may was not able to use today ' s summit to give notification of the triggering of article 50 , officially beginning the exit process .
there are a lot of positions in the european parliament on the future of the eu , this is our position because one of the most important points is the meeting of rome and the future of the eu .
there is an opinion that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the government and serve to keep alive the spirit of liberty . this within certain limits is probably true ; and in governments of a monarchical cast , patriotism may look with indulgence , if not with favor , upon the spirit of party . but in those of the popular character , in governments purely elective , it is a spirit not to be encouraged . from their natural tendency , it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose . and there being constant danger of excess , the effort ought to be by force of public opinion , to mitigate and assuage it . a fire not to be quenched , it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame , lest , instead of warming , it should consume .
observe good faith and justice towards all nations ; cultivate peace and harmony with all . religion and morality enjoin this conduct ; and can it be , that good policy does not equally enjoin it - it will be worthy of a free , enlightened , and at no distant period , a great nation , to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence . who can doubt that , in the course of time and things , the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it ? can it be that providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue ? the experiment , at least , is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human nature . alas ! is it rendered impossible by its vices ?

after sundance i’ll be a bit homeless . in march i’m shooting another feature that i wrote . it takes place in tulsa . i’ve thought a lot about leaving lately . it would be nice to try and make a good living at this . i’ll say that i’ve gotten a few eye - rolls when i tell people in new york or l . a . that i live here , but what can you do ? it’s an interesting place . i’ve lived in new york before , i’ve lived in portland . i love oregon . i think i could do l . a . colorado has some things going for it at the moment . maybe it’s time . this feels like therapy !
i rejoice that the state of your concerns , external as well as internal , no longer renders the pursuit of inclination incompatible with the sentiment of duty or propriety , and am persuaded , whatever partiality may be retained for my services , that , in the present circumstances of our country , you will not disapprove my determination to retire .
eurosceptics , such as iain duncan smith , have defended may as the guardian of brexit ( “she’s given us everything we’ve wanted so far , ” one told me ) . but there is now a parliamentary majority for a significantly softer exit and a cabinet push led by philip hammond ( who may was too weakened to sack ) .

against the insidious wiles of foreign influence ( i conjure you to believe me , fellow - citizens ) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake , since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government . but that jealousy to be useful must be impartial ; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided , instead of a defense against it . excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side , and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other . real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious , while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people , to surrender their interests .

new york city police officers outside trump tower after the election in november . the department said it had been advised that the president would not be staying in the city on thursday night .
i beg you , at the same time , to do me the justice to be assured that this resolution has not been taken without a strict regard to all the considerations appertaining to the relation which binds a dutiful citizen to his country ; and that in withdrawing the tender of service , which silence in my situation might imply , i am influenced by no diminution of zeal for your future interest , no deficiency of grateful respect for your past kindness , but am supported by a full conviction that the step is compatible with both .

for me , it puts you in a place immediately . i feel like people in rural america , and specifically the south , i feel like we are this underdog of culture where even though the greatest art has come out of the south , whether it be blues or jazz or whatever . there ' s still this stereotype of southern people being , basically , idiots . for me , it ' s exciting to be able to share these amazing people with country accents . it puts you in a world you ' re not used to being in . i like sharing these variations of the oklahoma accent .
harjo : i don’t find myself pigeonholed . i’ve just always done what i do . i keep working . i don’t have a lot of time to analyze myself or my career . i’ve seen other filmmakers come on the scene and have an easier time getting work . agents don’t really approach me , but i probably wouldn’t approach me either . “there’s this guy basically holed up in a shack in oklahoma making films about people that make up less than one percent of the population . ” doesn’t exactly scream “moneymaker , ” i guess .

sh : well , it ' s a small community . i mean , it ' s big but it ' s small at the same time . i grew up in this community . i grew up going to many of the churches that are in the film . and the people that i didn ' t grow up knowing , they knew my work . they know four sheets to the wind and barking water . those films are really popular in the muscogee creek and seminole community because it is about us . so they ' re proud of me and they know my work . they know that i ' m not going to screw anyone over and they can trust me . i couldn ' t have made this film first . this could never have been my first film because i wouldn ' t have had that trust . making it at the point that i did in my career made the timing right . i was also the producer of the film , i scheduled all the interviews , and i knew it would have to be that way . i knew that community , and i knew it would have to be by word of mouth . i put out the word out that i was searching for people . people would call me and say i should talk to this person , or this person . and i just knew that ' s the way it would have to be because it ' s a different world . it ' s not a world where everyone has their google calendars out and will be here at a certain time . i ' m still like that ! so the way i scheduled the film was like very , okay when are you available ? maybe friday or saturday . okay , i ' ll call you in a couple of days and see if that still works . and maybe that changes or maybe it doesn ' t .

the inducements of interest for observing that conduct will best be referred to your own reflections and experience . with me a predominant motive has been to endeavor to gain time to our country to settle and mature its yet recent institutions , and to progress without interruption to that degree of strength and consistency which is necessary to give it , humanly speaking , the command of its own fortunes .

some hotels have refused to call a guest bedroom number 101 - rather like those tower blocks that don ' t have a 13th floor - thanks to the ingenious orwellian concept of a room that contains whatever its occupant finds most impossible to endure . like big brother , this has spawned a modern tv show : in this case , celebrities are invited to name the people or objects they hate most in the world .
it is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world ; so far , i mean , as we are now at liberty to do it ; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements . i hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs , that honesty is always the best policy . i repeat it , therefore , let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense . but , in my opinion , it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them .
of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity , religion and morality are indispensable supports . in vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism , who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness , these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens . the mere politician , equally with the pious man , ought to respect and to cherish them . a volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity . let it simply be asked : where is the security for property , for reputation , for life , if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? and let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion . whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure , reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle .
the acceptance of , and continuance hitherto in , the office to which your suffrages have twice called me have been a uniform sacrifice of inclination to the opinion of duty and to a deference for what appeared to be your desire . i constantly hoped that it would have been much earlier in my power , consistently with motives which i was not at liberty to disregard , to return to that retirement from which i had been reluctantly drawn . the strength of my inclination to do this , previous to the last election , had even led to the preparation of an address to declare it to you ; but mature reflection on the then perplexed and critical posture of our affairs with foreign nations , and the unanimous advice of persons entitled to my confidence , impelled me to abandon the idea .
