VIA
for live electronics, live video and lighting composed in 2015 Via is based on film materials of roads and viaducts in Wellington, NZ, and across California, USA. I took the films spontaneously with hand-held devices while traveling, hence the shaky quality of the recordings, which translates into the overall visual design of the work. In the composition I applied a very tight connection between sounds and visuals. Almost everything that can be seen can also be heard – an approach that is in film theory referred to as Mickey Mousing. Nevertheless, while the synchronous doubling of media is generally applied in order to generate congruencies and amplifications of effects, I was specifically interested in exploring couplings between the media where the strict synchronization yields unexpected, yet coherent results. Even though I often processed the visual material beyond recognition, the floating character of the filmed roads and passing cars still determines the basic character of the work.
