Two Humans - short film/live soundtracking project

 



Image from the short film Two Humans, a live soundtracking project that I premiered at Sound & Vision #4 at The Caroline of Brunswick in Brighton on Sunday 10th December 2023.

The film is approximately 15 minutes in duration and is derived from FW Murnau's 1927 film Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans.

The project is available for screening either with a live soundtrack in person by myself or with a recorded soundtrack.  Please get in touch at slightlyoffkilter@hotmail.co.uk if you would like to know more.

Many thanks to Chloe Wallace and Karl M V Waugh of Sound & Vision.

THE SEEN at Hundred Years Gallery Friday 22nd July

Paul Khimasia Morgan  :  guitar body

Graham MacKeachan  :  double bass

Luigi Marino  :  cymbals, percussion

Mark Wastell’s long-standing metamorphic large ensemble The Seen makes a very welcome return to the gallery.

“It is the changeable aspect of the group that attracts its members. In varying the framework of ensemble size, mixture of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, and various pairings and contrasts of instruments and musicians, Wastell sets up active playing environments that both challenge the members to consider how to engage, while encouraging them to bear in mind the overall group sound. He acts more as instigator than leader, providing the simplest of instructions such as a sub-grouping to begin the piece or what order musicians are to enter and places full trust in the ensemble from there.” (Michael Rosenstein)
