Short notes:

In general, during the performance there is an interchange of techniques between sound composition and film composition. Sound steers the image, process and triggers it, and is equal in importance to the image instead of an accompaniment. Just as interaction between musicians and personalities is paramount, the images are used as a sort of performing and creative partner.
The evening lasts about 60 minutes without intermission.

There is a continuing red thread of solos connecting and complimenting the different themes. The show is divided into 7 basic chapters. Each one of those movements will use a different approach using various musical techniques, inspired by the different image categories we have selected. Gestures, abstractions, motion and velocity finally resolve into the concluding piece: "Story".
