Waiting to Turn into Puzzles

aug 21 8pm $10

Old Fire Station Bendigo

Produced by Aphids, performed live by New Music ensemble Quiver, music composed by David Young, Film by Louise Curham

Supporting program: improvisation by Atmos Ensemble

Waiting to Turn into Puzzles is the latest collaboration between film artist Louise Curham and composer David Young. Shot in Yokohama Japan, this 45 minute hand-processed super 8 film/music work forms the basis of the musical scores. The inter-medial nature of the work creates a hovering connectedness between image and sound, shifting the boundaries between the artforms. Similarly the graphic music notation allows a certain freedom and spontaneity in the performance of the music which accompanies the film, whilst remaining precisely structured.
