Optical Sound




Live Performance
Solo Author, 2008

‘Live Cinema and Optical Sound’ workshop/performance with experimental filmmaker Guy Sherwin at The Film Archive, Wellington.

Solo project work involved the production of an abstract 16mm film loop, using analogue editing techniques and featuring a live optical soundtrack, with subsequent collaborative performance of each composition. Graphical celluloid imagery was directly transformed into audio signals and output as tonal values, which oscillated according to the visual properties of each frame.
