Obtuse Angles
An audio-visual installation. Taking its visual elements from British cinematography, extracting them, remixing them, combining them, omitting them, obscuring them live. The piece celebrates the work of those Obtuse Angles that painted with light, many times artistically out of step with Hollywood. The music is a minimalist wasteland populated by the disjointed rhythm and melodic misdirection that the visuals inspire.
The Frozen Cottage
Desperation, fear, desire - all frozen in time and space. String quartet and choir. A frame-by-frame exposure of the futility of life but the strength of emotion. Despite the obstacles, rugged determination in a bleak landscape. One man's escape is another man's imprisonment, resulting in the ultimate release.
