his generation, his eerie, expansive
scores layering dozens of movies –
including all of Darren Aronofsky’s
projects, from Pi and Requiem for
a Dream to The Fountain, Black
Swan and Noah. Drawing on rock,
minimalism, chamber music and
electronica, Mansell’s unique
compositions have seen him join
forces with artists as diverse as
Kronos Quartet, Mogwai, Patti
Smith and Trent Reznor.
Backed by the might of a ninepiece band, complete with string
section, this show sees Mansell
present a sweeping retrospective
of his film compositions, twinned
with haunting visuals – an
otherworldly tour through the
works of a musical visionary.
