"I have been absorbed by a delicate thought. It is how poetry has indefinite sensations. To which end, music is an essential. Since the comprehension of sweet sound is our most indefinite conception, music, when combined with an original idea, is Poetry. Music without the idea is simply..."music". Without music and this intriguing idea, colour becomes palor and man becomes carcass, and home becomes catacomb!" (Orson Welles).

"I thank you deeply for your generous gift of your brilliant, magical and elegant sounds. Your music will always remain monumental, special and continue to touch my heart and soul". (Lusia, Florida, USA).

Current Netherlands "review" of Sorensen's Feature Film ALIEN BLOOD  below.

"A rare gem in British independent filmmaking"., February 16, 2008

"This is a film that requires some patience, and for that reason may not be compatible with the regular Multiplex-movie-goer. But for those who watch movies for their content instead of only for fast moving ridiculousness, this is a very interesting one, because it is a little of a lot of things and a lot of never seen before. Apparently the producer/writer/director Jon Sorensen (responsible for the special effects of Alien, The Dark Crystal, Moonraker and Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits, to name a few) had trouble finding funds to finance the film, because in Britain it was the first independent film with a science fiction theme in at least ten years. Producing it himself he then eventually managed to go on with the project, and that is a very good thing, because he made certainly the first British independent film of ANY kind that is remotely like ALIEN BLOOD. The film evolves around a hunted mother and her child, which is the target of the incredibly unrelenting mostly masked persons, the leader of which mentions to be responsible for "this project". A family having a dress-party for the millennium gets involved and without us learning the exact truth about the mother and the child, the film is keeping the viewer constantly involved with them, concerned for them. Without much plot this is a very poetic film, of which each and every frame could be framed and hanged on the wall for it's sheer beauty. The atmosphere reminds a little of some of the best Jean Rollin pictures, especially Requiem For A Vampire, as it shares a very long beginning without any dialogue, and a sneaked in vampire theme combined with some implied lesbianism plus the fact that people who come "from another world" speak French lead to believe that the director indeed wanted to include some nods to the French auteur filmmaker. With it's visual poetry, stunningly thrilling atmosphere, wonderfully worked out story and questions that still remain after the closing titles have ended, this is a very special film. Some people complain about the acting in many films that are made with a comparatively small budget, but even the most cynical of those could complain here. The acting has to be done without a lot of lines, so facial expressions are very important, and the cast deliver a great performance. The DVD has an interesting monologue by Sorensen, in which he shares a good deal of information about the production of the film and beautiful shots of the location (just as beautiful) where Alien Blood was shot".

A work of genius.
