Self Sound Orchestra

Self Sound Orchestra (2008, video, 10 minutes)


Danny Sigelman asked if I was interested in shooting his experimental music ensemble, Self Sound Orchestra, doing a show at the 331 Club in Minneapolis with Phil Harder projecting films on a large screen behind them. They played one thirty minute set and another forty minute set.

I cut picture largely with synch sound, and then mashed up audio elements from throughout both sets to create a film whose impression is accurate to what the sound and images created that night, but which runs ten minutes instead of 70.

"Self Sound Orchestra" premiered at the 2008 Minneapolis Underground Film Festival and can be seen at the Brooklyn Art Project.
