This next piece is an excerpt from a seven minute composition for a short film by myself and Daryl Legge that we hope to release in the next month. The film is an exploration and exhibition of his most recent sculpture series which I will be sure to post here once it’s completed.

The Broad Salute – I & II (2010-2011, work in progress)

Each segment is made to reflect the shape and presence of each of the five pieces in the exhibition which range from the sublime to aggressive and violent. The two segments in the above composition are of a warning light and barb wire hive. As the objects are stationary I am hoping to evoke movement and further the anxiety brought on by the sculptures but at the same time, not overwhelm the audience. For the musical style I made a few tests with a more electronic, atmospheric focus and found them conflicting with the visuals. Settling with more traditional instruments had the music envelop the visuals rather than push them around while still creating a sense of malaise in the listener.

The final work will be exhibited on a web space built around the video piece.
