Well, of course, I'm biased, Doron's a friend & we work together on dvblog *and* I wrote the music for one of these pieces, but I do urge people to explore this work. I think it is quite extraordinary in its breadth, its intelligence & a kind of transcendent magic that I feel viscerally but I'm not really sure how to begin to explain in words. It's something to do with the disjunction between a surface modesty (always) & austerity (often) & also its having, in my view, the great merit of refusing to ingratiate itself in any way but then richly rewarding serious engagement. So much work becomes simpler on repeated looking/listening - there's that sense of seeing, grasping, the layout, the structure, of seeing *how-it-was-done*,of assimilating -but this work resists assimiliation, becomes richer, more mysterious, the more one looks. What a feat! Utterly great! More! michael
many of these are very interesting concerning what does not seem to change.
also, the 'pointilistic' filter of "Mourning" is used judiciously to protect the identity of the mourners and the film from a specificity it does not require.
