MATALON, »Metropolis rebooted« for Orchestra and Electronics (2021) for the film »Metropolis« by Fritz Lang (1927). World Premier
*Commissioned by Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne and Orchestre de Paris

»Metropolis«, an icon of film history. Argentinian composer Martin Matalon has tailored a new soundtrack for the original version of Fritz Lang’s expressionist silent film, reconstructed in 2010: in opulent orchestral colours as diverse as a futuristic metropolis.
