Rosetta French

Rosetta: Audio/Visual is the story of blue-collar, Philadelphia-based, post-metal band Rosetta and their relationship with record label Translation Loss; every album is a creative milestone, each tour a test of faith. As the music industry appears to transform, evolve, and erode around them, the bonds of friendship become threatened by the pressures of business, and Rosetta is faced with a career-altering decision: continue with Translation Loss, or release albums independently.

The first scene, like almost all others, is a fighting scene. A girl, about 18, is sacked from her factory work because her trial period is over. The girl, Rosetta, is quite upset and the cops will have to arrive to get her out

In 2014, Rosetta became the first mission to orbit a comet and to deploy a lander onto its surface. This is the story of ESA’s pioneering comet explorer, following the mission from its initial inception to its historic touchdown.

After the epigones of Verist opera, the composers of the so-called “Generation of the Eighties” (i.e. Casella, Pizzetti, Alfano, Respighi and Malipiero) brought new lymph to the Italian instrumental music of the twentieth century. These composers had a sound academic education; they were open both to the rediscovery of the Italian musical heritage of the past, and to the novelties following each other in the premieres of the Parisian theatres.
