Description

Listen to the film ... Watch the music - a unique collection of free-form films on music.

As the four pieces in the live program progress, the music grows looser, whether due to greater improvisation or the composer's cleverness in suggesting such extemporaneousness never becoming an issue. Either way, the music is consistently surprising and quite beautiful ... such attention to visual elements makes the disc rise above the usual filmed performance. La Huit has made a name for itself by creating films worthy of the music the company documents." -- All About Jazz Swiss pianist-composer Sylvie Courvoisier, New York violinist Mark Feldman, and German cellist Anja Lechner perform music composed by Courvoisier and published in 2004 by ECM Records. Two virtuoso dancers and graphic animation give shape to the daydream conjured up by the bewitching music of these dazzling performers. This DVD is part of the Freedom Now collection. Each film was shot on location at a performance at the Banlieues Bleues Festival, and total freedom was given to the directors, whose films challenge the conservative codes of shooting musical performances.
