Jean Detheux - "...lilac shrieks and scarlet bellowings..."
what a great title - posting latest news on Jean Detheux's visual music work
"...lilac shrieks and scarlet bellowings..." is a film in 6 movements, based on related texts of E. E. Cummings that focus on themes of nature and the cycle of life. The sonic material, created by Mikel Kuehn mikelkuehn.com/, is derived from manipulated environmental sounds and the recitation of Cummings texts by soprano Deborah Norin-Kuehn. The images were created first (the idea was to create a life in 4 parts, followed by a "recollection" of that life, as if at the moment of death, in the 5th and final movement). The sonic material came later and added an in-between part, visually blank, thus bringing the total to 6 movements."
[The work with be presented at The Thirteenth Biennial Symposium on Arts and Technology at Symposium 2012
Ammerman Center for Arts and Technology, 270 Mohegan Avenue, New London Connecticut 06320, US]
