GANGSTA NOIR
Jay Anthony Gach
About this work:
GANGSTA' NOIR is music influenced by the Film Noir genre of cinema. Film Noir - mostly shot in gloomy grays, black and white - thematically showed the dark and inhumane side of human nature - replete with dingy realism, cynicism, doomed love, defeat and entrapment. Film Noir emphasized the brutal , unhealthy, seamy, shadowy, dark and sadistic sides of the "psychopathic gangster" personality and the human experience in general. An oppressive atmosphere of menace, pessimism, anxiety, and a suspicion that anything-can-go-wrong fatalism were all stylized characteristics of Film Noir.
