An evening dedicated to contemporary
“silent” moving image and experimental sound
“silent” moving image and experimental sound
Following
the great success of Moving Silence in Cyprus in 2011, 2012 and 2013 at ARTos
Foundation, Moving Silence takes place for the fourth consecutive year in collaboration with the Goethe Institut
Cyprus. OnSaturday 13 December 2014 at 20:30 at ARTos
Foundation, musicians and composers will meet to perform live soundtracks for video and film works without sound by
contemporary creators of their choice.
The audience will have a unique experience where the musicians-composers
perform live their music while the films/videos that have inspired them are
simultaneously screened.
"The
contemporary cinema could take back this expressive freedom" the Moving
Silence’s members state. "Any visual style can profit from a
sound language, by using advanced digital technologies as well as old
analogue techniques. Live performances sustain and amplify the
films as musicians can breathe new life into silent cinema, which
inappropriately remained silent for such a long time."
Encouraging collaboration and exchange between musicians, artists and
cinematographers, the Moving Silence platform, therefore, invites the Nicosia
audience to new audiovisual experiences expressed through live improvisations
and interpretations, where experimental image and sound are expected to meet in
unusual and unexpected ways.
Moving
Silence was originally founded in the summer of 2009 by the musician Marco
Brosolo, filmmaker Matthias Fritsch and producer Federico Bassetti with the aim to
create events that connect the roots of cinematography with the present
aesthetics of image, the live music production and the potential of new
technology. It constitutes a poetic, intercultural and collaborative attempt in
times of information overload. It embraces experimentation and merging between
contemporary forms of visual and sound inviting artists from different parts of
the world to join in. Moving Silence events have taken place in different
cities around Europe.
Participating musicians and
composers: Matthias Fritsch (DE), Johanna Borchert (DE),
Achilleas Kentonis (CY), Tomash Ghzegovsky, Andreas
