Liminal Combo
a
score?
2007
A 30 minute long video will be projected. it consists of a series of short
(1 minute) to 2 minute long 'moving stills'. They were shot in Laos and
Thailand.
I set the camera down and just let it run, getting whatever was happening
at the time. Consider them 'ambient' films of some sort. Most are very
quiet, some are very active.
These videos will be projected in the theater, and so will the sound from
these videos.
A small group of people will sit on the floor level facing the screen
and improvise sounds in reaction to these videos.
The idea for this situation is that the players integrate sounds that
we make with the sounds or visual motions which occurred in the places
that were shot on video.
The other half of the liminal combo are the 'players' in the videos who
were just doing whatever when recorded..kites, cars, rivers, kids, bikes,
etc..One could think that any sound or visual element in the videos as
the other players in the combo.
