Time can be measured in both movement and sound. Sometimes it's both at once. Marshall McLuhan says "We march backwards into the future." Consider the possibility that there is no future, nor past. Just movement and sound. How would we function? Would it matter?
When I made this, I was listening to a lot of noise music—particularly Wolf Eyes' Burned Mind and Animal Collective's earlier discography—as well as watching David Lynch the whole summer before, and rewatching Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey the weekend of. I also was moved to base the video and sound around Adam Friedman's drumming (heard in two affected tracks), as he has been a huge inspiration, close friend, and passionate collaborator throughout my time here at Lawrence University.
Unite movement and sound when you watch this video. I challenge you to be more conscious of how the two interact in everyday life.
we both shot Kohler!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat other projects have you worked on with Adam?
ReplyDeleteWe've played together a lot, in various settings. We had a short lived improv/hip hop group that involved him doing drum set and various other percussion and me using a sampler, a drum/trumpet acoustic duo, a rock trio covering Yo La Tengo songs and the like with me on banjo and vocals and another friend on bass, but more recently we've just collaborated by sharing lots of ideas on art in general. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff. Gonna be weird not collaborating as much when we graduate!
