FOUND, Tokamak and Lipsync for a Lullaby’s styles contrast, but all of them share a creativity and intensity which suits accompaniment to film. In June, we invited them to meet the French pioneers of the cinéconcert format during a week of the French acts’ performances over the likes of The Prisoner, Lord of The Flies, and Desperado , at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
