centerfornewmusic.com · details THTHNG II is long awaited sequel to 2023’s THTHNG.

roxie.com · details While so many effects-driven visions of the future have faded with time, Blade Runner remains a template for imagining the neon-soaked city to come, as influential in its way as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis . Adapting Philip K. Dick’s novel into the gold standard of sci-fi noir, Ridley Scott shares much of the film’s visual legacy with “visual futurist” Syd Mead , whose design concepts helped define its unforgettable world, and with Vangelis’s atmospheric synth score.
