Synchronism Project. Man with the Movie Camera with live accompaniment

The Synchronism Project presents a screening of Man with the Movie Camera by Dziga Vertov with a unique live accompaniment. The formal structure of the piece exactly matches the editing scheme of the film with meticulous and exacting detail. With one-note-per-cut compositional strategies, the audience gets to "listen" to the editing of the film as well as see it. Accompanying the synchrony of the main vibraphone solo are other live instrumentalists who each play drone material in different time structures. The solo vibraphone score was written and will be performed by Ross Karre from San Diego's redfishbluefish percussion group. Accompanying him will be New York locals such as Kevin Sims, Mike Gallope, and Amie Weiss.
