TRANS | Optic: German / American abstract films – Paul Clipson & Darwinsbitch – Oskar Fischinger – Tonight at Meridian Gallery, SF 0

oskar_fischinger

TRANS I Optic
Meridian Gallery 535 Powell Street, San Francisco
Thursday, December 10th 7:30-9pm $5-10 sliding scale
http://www.meridiangallery.org/en/other_events/trans_optic.htm

An exploration of abstraction in experimental film spanning the 1920’s to the present that features German and Bay Area filmmakers. The program will include as follows:

Two early 16mm films by German filmmaker, Oskar Fischinger: Wax Experiments, 1921-23 the wax-sliced imagery having a rare beauty and complexity, and Spirals, 1926 composed basically of concentric circular, spiral, and radiating patterns moving in such ways that they produce optical illusions of great depth;

three video mandalas, 2007-2009 by local artist/filmmaker Dean Smith whose ever shifting filmic symmetries, originally shot in Super 8mm film and then transferred to DVD, reveal the patterns of the mind;

German filmmaker, Thorston Fleisch’s, 16mm film Kosmos, 2004 in which Fleisch grew crystals directly on film allowing their mystical qualities to shine straight to the screen in rich visual textures;

and a recent Super 8mm film by local filmmaker/artist Paul Clipson. Clipson will screen his film with live musical accompaniment performed by Oakland-based sound artist and violinist Marielle Jakobsons. Paul Clipson’s Super 8mm films are shot and largely edited “in-camera”, in an improvised manner that brings to light subconscious preoccupations in the hope of allowing for un-thought, unexpected visual elements to reveal themselves. The sound work of Jakobsons focuses on experiences which are at once “natural” and technologically-altered.

Z.M. Dagar – Raga Yaman, For Jack Rose 2

zmdagardhrupadstill

Thinking about Jack Rose I was reminded that it was his list on Dusted that first turned me on to Dagar, and eventually to Hindustani music in General:

“The sound of glaciers moving. My favorite raga of all time and it is the inspiration for my composition, “Yaman Blues” on Opium Musick. I listened to this raga every night before bed while I was composing the songs for the lp. The alap alone is 30 mins and tablas are absent altogether. The amount of concentration it takes to play this slow and precise is astounding.”

So, thanks Jack.
May your music live on.

For those of you that missed it the first time around, this is basically essential.
I mean stranded on a desert island with only a couple of records essential…
