ALEX PUDDU COMPOSES NEW MUSIC FOR VINTAGE DANISH PORNO MOVIES BY THE PIONEER FREDDY WEISS
Alex Puddu has composed and recorded new original music for a number of rare Danish porn movies dating back to 1971-74 which are to be released on dvd by the Danish erotica label Pink Flamingo Entertainment this November. The album, entitled "The Golden Age of Danish Pornography", is composed, produced, and recorded by Alex Puddu (drums, bass, guitar) assisted by a handful of great colleagues such as Sods guitarist Peter Peter on sitar and funky wha-wha, Blue Van-organist Soren Christensen on Hammond organ and jazz musician Jesper Løvdal on saxophone and flute.
Originally, the films had no music and no sound, but Puddu let their suggestive atmosphere be his inspiration and created the music so as to sound like an original recording from the 70's - drawing on references such as freak beat, psych rock and jazzy moods.
Opening November 2nd at Husets Biogaf
The release of the soundtrack as well as the dvd box set "The Golden Age of Danish Pornography" will be followed by a showcase at Husets Biograf, Copenhagen, Wednesday November 2nd. Here, Alex Puddu and band will perform extracts of the music live to accompany the screening of a few of the films.

NEW SOUNDTRACK "HELL IS OTHER PEOPLE OUT IN MAY 2011 "
Lately, Alex Puddu has been working on the original soundtrack for a new Danish short titled Hell is Other People (Du ved godt du drømmer) directed by Nanna Kari Jensen.
The drama is based on the true story of the life and delusions of Jens, a young man who suffers from schizophrenia. The soundtrack - performed, produced, and recorded entirely by Alex Puddu - experiments with new sounds.
During the recording process he has used all kinds of lo-fi instruments and tape effects as well as homemade ambient percussion in a psycho/blues mood. The album will be released on vinyl and digital download in May 2011.
