White Noise Black Noise (A tribute to Rainer Maria Rilke*)

40 minutes audio-visual performance, 100% original work. This was recorded at Vision´R Festival, in Paris 14 may 2011.

The work is about the increasing awareness of subliminal impressions, and my own love/hate relationship with the urban lifestyle, clashing with an urge for an organic space of harmony, where more intuitive decisions can evolve in a state of flow and presentness.

The base material is audio and video recordings, motion graphics and synthetic audio, made in Berlin, Copenhagen, New York City, Paris and Stockholm. Softwares and plug ins used: Modul8, Ableton Live, Logic, Pro Tools, After Effects, Final Cut, FreeFrame and Waves.

WNBN 2.0 in the making, sounds something like this…
