MovieMusic

MM51 does more than mark time, it mics it. Film within film as Murnau's silent "Nosferatu" leads an accompanist by the hand, and whose feet are quite literally tied to time. A tug of war between the vertical and the horizontal.

From Mauricio Kagel, a short follow-up to his previous effort Solo.

Hallelujah is one of Kagel's major works, a surreal story about the mouth and it's many permutations. Hands, eyes, lips, tongues, etc are in quite a quandary without means of escape.

Experimental electronic composition and film by Argentine-German composer Mauricio Kagel, Antithese is also a surreal innovative multimedia/interdisciplinary performance.
