Ashtray Navigations & Larcher with Fowler, McMaster & Sonbert
Ashtray Navigations are makers of the most important psychedelic music the UK has to offer, (they have become known as the group that love music so much they need to destroy it so no one else can have it). They will be performing a live score to David Larchers E Etc. Larcher is a structural romantic, immersed in the modernist obsession with the essential nature of each medium employed, but at the same time refusing to acknowledge a separation between his life and his art, or between science and psychology, or between film and poetry. He is attempting to create an organon in film, an all-embracing, ultimate work that must at the same time remain constantly in labour, forever emergent, never finally formed.
Luke Fowler and Richard McMaster will be performing a new sound mix to Warren Sonberts originally silent 1978 film Divided Loyalties, projecting from a 16mm print. The performance will be accompanied by a screening of Sonberts Hall of Mirrors with its original sound.
Sonbert built upon his early experiments in camera movement, lighting, and framing to create brilliantly edited masterworks that encompass not only his New York milieu, but also the larger sphere of human activity. In these films he commented upon such contemporary issues as art and industry, news reportage and its effect on our lives, and the interrelationship between the creative arts. His late works culminated in symphonic montages (both silent and sound) that unite universal human gestures into singular works of moving image artistry.
