| During the silent film, live music enhanced the moving picture and brought communities together through a visceral, interactive audio-visual experience. Today, the film experience has been reduced to the tiny screens of our laptops and iPods, oftentimes experienced alone. Cinema 16 offers a revival of community, recreating the experience of the silent film era. Curator and artist Molly Surno programs obscure vintage films and pairs them with contemporary New York musicians. Bands are commissioned to compose a musical score in order to modernize the 1920’s tradition of live music accompanying films.
This installment of Cinema 16 at 92YTribeca includes four films - Jan Lenica's Labyrinth, Joel Schlemowitz' Morris, Engel's Time Sculpture, an educational video about biology, Ralph Steiner's H2O - each with a new live score by Crown the Invisible. Crown the Invisible is a new compositional/music/aesthetic project developed by composer/producer CG Foisy. A blooming, buzzing, blissful kaleidoscope of sounds, Crown the Invisible channels the spirit of Brian Eno, the shimmery sonics of My Bloody Valentine and the cape-wearing demagoguery of Yes. |
