John Parish, 22.11.2002, Praha, Palác Akropolis

Jeden z nejvýznamnějších světových hudebních producentů a skladatelů, multi-instrumentalista John Parish své desky nevydává jak na běžícím pásu a koncertně svou hudbu prezentuje jen sporadicky. Už jen proto má Praha štěstí, že byla zařazena do Parishova krátkého evropského turné, jímž s devítičlenným orchestrem představuje své nové album "How Animals Move", které v září vyšlo na kultovní chicagské značce Thrill Jockey.

Žánrové rozpětí Parishova hudebního výraziva je nezměrné a v jeho případě platí dvojnásob, že činy jsou silnější než slova. Proto spíše než složitá biografie plná škatulek a přirovnání, bude zřejmě zcela stačit jeho diskografie. Zde je připomenutí zásadních hudebních počinů a osobností, jejichž věhlasu John Parish svým autorským, instrumentálním a producentským uměním významně přispěl:

P.J. HARVEY - album To Bring You My Love (1995) JOHN PARISH & POLLY JEAN HARVEY - album Dance Hall At Louse Point (1996) SPLEEN - album Soundtrack To Spleen (1996) THE HARVEST MINISTERS - album Orbit (1996) 16 HORSEPOWER - album Low Estate (1997) THE INNER FLAME - pocta Raineru Ptáčkovi (1997), společně s P.J.

HARVEY - album Is This Desire (1998) ROSIE (S ďáblem v hlavě) - soundtrack ke stejnojmenému filmu Patrice Toyeové (1998); film i J.Parish za hudbu získali mnohá prestižní ocenění (např. Cannes, Bonn, Seattle…) SPLEEN - album Little Scratches (1998) THE THE - Shrunken Man EP (1999) PAT MACDONALD - album Begging Her Graces (1999) GIANT SAND - album Chore Of Enchantment (2000) GOLDFRAPP - album Felt Mountain (2000) THOU - album Put Us In Tune (2000) BETTIE SERVEERT - album Private Suit (2000) PAT MACDONALD - album Degrees Of Gone (2001) EXPERIMENTAL POP BAND - album Tracksuit Trilogy (2001) SPARKLEHORSE - album It's A Wonderful Life (2001); s Tomem Waitsem… EELS - album Souljacker (2001); klip režíroval Wim Wenders

John Parish dále význmně producentsky a instrumentálně přispěl některým nahrávkám Toma Waitse devadesátých let...

Na aktuálním albu Johna Parishe How Animals Move se mimo jiné podíleli např. P.J. Harvey, Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), Will Gregory (Goldfrapp), Jeremy Hogg a také Adrian Utlety z Portishead, který je zároveň i členem současného Parishova devítičlenného koncertního orchestru, jenž se představí i v Praze v Paláci Akropolis.

The first time we came across New Zealand’s ALDOUS HARDING was when we saw her play at the Great Escape, Brighton #TGE2015. When we listened attentively, we could hear post-rock sounds, like Portishead and Pixies, inside an acid-folk exterior jacket

Aldous Harding – an exuberant emanation of slow movement…

Her utterly beautiful 2017 album, “Party” is charming, moving and introspective. And the…

Oscar-winner Judi Dench and rising talent Sophie Cookson (Kingsman: The Secret Service) will lead Red Joan for director Trevor Nunn.

Lindsay Shapiro has penned the script, an adaptation of Jennie Rooney’s eponymous 2014 novel which itself took its inspiration from the true story of Melita Norwood, a woman unmasked at age 87 as the KGB’s longest-serving British spy.

The story follows Dench’s Joan, a retired physicist whose tranquil life is interrupted in 2000 by a visit from British secret service MI5. Cookson will play Joan in her younger days as a student at Cambridge University who falls in love with a committed communist and, later, finds her loyalty to her country tested while employed in the UK’s secret nuclear programme.

UK-based sales outfit Embankment Films is launching sales on the project this week in Toronto. Trademark Films duo David Parfitt (Shakespeare In Love) and Ivan Mactaggart (Loving Vincent) are producer and executive producer respectively. Principal photography is scheduled for October 2017 with the film shooting on location in the UK.

Tim Haslam, co-founder of Embankment Films, commented: “Stories like Red Joan can only be based on true events because it’s is so unimaginable and utterly compelling: tense, emotional, revealing and unexpected. We’ve been aiming to work David and Ivan of Trademark since we started the company five years ago.”

Producer David Parfitt commented: “Ivan and I have been inspired by this story since Trevor brought Jennie’s book to Trademark three years ago. Lindsay’s writing is so nuanced, insightful and emotive and we’re thrilled that Judi and Sophie have chosen to make this exciting film with us.”

Embankment has four titles screening at this year’s TIFF, include Submergence starring Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy and Breathe starring Andrew Garfield and Clare Foy
