Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan, aka Sqürl, live movie-concert in February 2023 at Centre Pompidou

One of them is a movie maker. The other is a composer. Together they are since 2009 Sqürl, an avant-garde post-rock duo known by indie rock connoisseurs. You may have guessed, I am talking about Jim Jarmusch and Carter Logan. Although the former is behind major movies such as “Dead Man”, the excellent “Coffee and Cigarettes”, “Broken Flowers”, “The Limits of Controls”, without forgetting “The Dead Don’t Die”; the latter has written lots of movie scores, including “Parterson”, made by Jim Jarmusch! Both artists know each other well and are gathering this winter 2023 in Paris, as their band, Sqürl.

Sqürl’s specialty? Creating semi-improvised scores mixing loops, synthesizers, guitars and effects units.
