Opus Caementicium, a short, abstract cinematic ode to concrète by Karin Schomaker with a Kyma generated score by Roland Kuit will be screened in New York on March 13, 2015 at EZUFFPP#6 NY— a festival bridging experimental architecture, experimental film, and experimental music at Spectrum Space in NYC.
Described as “an experience of form, light, surface, sound and movement,” Opus Caementicium is “an attempt to transcend the mere material.” For the soundtrack, Kuit uses the Slipstick synthesis module to create pulses that are frequency modulated and fed into a Resonator Bank. These reflections of sound are then Time/Frequency shaped to create a beautiful concrete sound/music environment.
EZUFF is different kind of film festival that spans objective and subjective realms and bridges gaps among different scholarly traditions. They see horizons not boundaries. EZUFF is a ‘projectivist’ project playing with ideas of:
- the projection of moving images – the film medium
- the idea that the projections of moving image could be related to (or used as a pretext to address) actual & future ‘projections’ of the city/urban life
Using short experimental movies to make a link between contemporary urban forms of expression/representation and the political imagination for the city of today, EZUFFÂ is about oblique ways to dig into present day urban cultures and imagine alternatives for the cities of tomorrow
