ATEMPORAL 2.0
Production company: The Light Surgeons
Atemporal 2.0 is a single or dual-screen, surround-sound live cinema performance created in memory of the British novelist, painter, and poet John Berger. It is a poetic audiovisual concert that unites original musical compositions, documentary film, and video art created in collaboration with audio-visual artist Christopher Thomas Allen.
I created all the music for this show. Micro sampled classical music is fragmented across synthesised landscapes and electronic rhythms. These musical compostitions are then arranged around key statements from Berger. This is all spatialised across the venues sound system, ideally at least 5.1, but it can be up to 3rd order ambisonics or Dolby Atmos.
Atemporal 2.0 is simultaneously a musical composition, an evolving video artwork, and an experimental documentary; a dynamic live audiovisual essay that contemplates our human condition and celebrates an important voice in art criticism and cultural thinking.
