Ridley Scott\u2019s film Blade Runner (1982) \u2014\u00a0known for its groundbreaking cinematography and stellar performances from Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos \u2014\u00a0is an indisputable cinematic masterpiece. <\/p>\n

However, the dystopian, sci-fi noir thriller\u2019s soundtrack rarely receives comparable attention, even though it added to the breathtaking live action sequences and evoked the eerie feel of the narrative originally penned by Phillip K. Dick as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. <\/p>\n

That will change for San Antonio cinema fans this Friday as Japan\u2019s Avex Ensemble foregrounds composer Vangelis\u2019 synthesizer-driven score in sync with a screening of the full film at the Majestic Theatre. The group is conducting a live tour presenting immersive performances of the soundtrack accompanying the movie.<\/p>\n

$108 and up, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 29, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., majesticempire.com.<\/p>\n
