October 2009 Irmin Schmidt releases Filmmusik Anthology Vol 4&5 on Mute / Spoon Records Founder of the legendary German rock group CAN, Irmin Schmidt has been writing music for films for over 40 years, and as a trained pianist, composer and conductor, has roots in classical music, jazz, and of course in rock music. This double CD release, Filmmusik Anthology Vol 4&5, follows 1994's Anthology Soundtracks 1978 -1993 and contains a selection of Schmidt's works over the last 10 years for 20 different films for both the big screen and television. The anthology includes tracks from the critically acclaimed German TV series Bloch and Tatort and the award winning film Schneeland. These pieces of music are a fascinating insight into the art of film score music from a veteran who has honed his craft masterfully over the years as well as being a wonderful album to just sit, relax and enjoy. Filmmusik Anthology Vol. 4&5 also includes eight tracks from the original score of the latest Wim Wenders film, Palermo Shooting, which premiered in the Official Selection of the Cannes film festival 2008. The original film score is available digitally on Mute. Irmin Schmidt has been commissioned by the Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele (Ludwigsburg Castle Festival) to present an evening of orchestrations of his work for film in summer 2010. A selection of pieces (some included on the album Filmmusik Anthology Vol 4&5) will be transcribed for orchestra and the concert will be conducted by the composer himself. This exclusive event is being organised in co-operation with the Baden-Würtemburg Film Academy. In addition Irmin Schmidt will be holding a series of workshops at the prestigious film school. For further information please contact Zoe Miller at Mute HQ zoe.miller@mutehq.co.uk / 020 7752 5477 |

9th of NOVEMBER 2007
The original Can Studio, The Inner Space Studio in Cologne, has been completely dismantled (including the hundreds of mattresses on the walls!!!) and rebuild in the Rock and Pop Museum in Gronau, Germany. After the Band split, René Tinner, Can's sound engineer, took over the studio and produced here many of the hits of the 80ies and 90ies with German bands like Trio, Maruis Müller-Westernhagen, Joachim Witt, Whirlpool Productions and many others. The Opening Ceremony will be on the 9th of November. The press conference is at 14:00h, followed by a ceremony at which all living members of Can will be present. A great opportunity to meet and greet Irmin, Holger and Jaki and learn more about the secrets of this truly unique space. The studio will continue to function as a recording studio for young bands inside the walls of the museum. For more information and access to the museum: www.rock-popmuseum.de
