SQÜRL, MAN RAY' S BACKING BAND
SQÜRL, the sonic project of filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and producer/composer Carter Logan, operates as a visceral, modern counterpart to Man Ray’s avant-garde cinema. In their role as the backing band, SQÜRL crafts immersive, semi-improvised live scores that blend drone, ambient textures, and distorted guitar to evoke the surrealist energy of Man Ray’s visual language. Their music doesn’t merely accompany the films — it converses with them, extending the dreamlike poetics of Ray’s silent imagery into an electrified, contemporary soundscape.
