Re: [Frameworks] Big Shadows

2016-02-25 Thread Gene Youngblood
Sounds interesting, Pip. Like the inverse of Bill Viola’s “Sweet Light,” in 
which he walks toward the camera at night wearing white clothes with someone 
walking along beside him in black clothes shining a bright light on him. This 
starts at some distance, so all you see is a glowing white figure advancing 
toward the camera with direct sound picking up his footsteps.

Hi Gene,
You'll have to search for this but Gaspard Noe made a music video in 
which he walks through the forest with a handheld camera at night, 
followed by someone carrying a bright light, the result is his own 
shadow walking eerily through the woods. I can't find the title now 
but I think it fits right in.

Re: [Frameworks] Lis Rhodes? Dynamo Dresden fan? + synch?

2016-02-25 Thread John Muse
I agree with you, Mark.  After watching the "Shoot Shoot Shoot" version last 
night in a hall with a wonderful sound system, I could only think of the fire 
bombing of Dresden, which is curious because London, obviously, knows these 
sounds as well.  That Dresden must be the reference; and even if it's not, it 
should be.  None too subtle either: the score and the parades and swarms and 
cascades and conspire to put thousands of planes in the sky; some patterns 
resemble crosshairs, maps, rail lines and spurs, urban spaces.  Fully 
metaphoric?  No, but forgive me for trying.  A futurist anthem?  Not likely.  
And I'm not trying to reduce the work to this reference, to war and 
bombardment, but this reference matters, as does cinema's role in new modes of 
visualization, in reconnaissance and damage assessment--think of screening this 
before Farocki's "Images of the World and the Inscriptions of War."  The 
impulse to produce the work was materialist, playful, inspired.  The resulting 
work though has these resonances; the title simply owns up to them, no?

The synch offset: we're all agreed!

I believe the title is also a reference to the bombing of Dresden in World War 
II, and the qualities of the soundtrack suggest this also. Its remarkable how 
much this soundtrack varies according to the projector it is shown on. 

As Nicky Hamlyn stated, the soundtrack was offset after being made to put it in 
sync with the image during projection. (Light Music was done the same way.)

It’s remarkable how much these soundtracks vary according to the projector they 
are shown on.
