Michael Nyman has now completed scores for the three major films that the pioneering Soviet filmmaker Dziga Vertov made in the late 1920s. To ‘Man with a Movie Camera’ he has added ‘The Eleventh Year’ and ‘A Sixth Part of the World’ and as a unique experiment for MN Records he has created a new Michael Nyman Band work – by making a montage of material from both of the soundtracks into a single, continuous piece which runs for 77 minutes. VERTOV SOUNDS is the fourth release on MN Records as part of the composer’s cut series.
