Live registration of the premiere of Shutterspeed during the online version of festival Dag in de Branding 6/6/2020
Music by Arnold Marinissen, clarinet & image by Michel Marang.
A tip of the veil: the music is a construction of splinters from well-known clarinet pieces, connected by a live clarinet, accompanied by camera sounds.
All is about time, remembering and fading away. Just like music, photos are pieces of controlled time...
Three panels are projected; on the outer two (more difficult to see) we see archive images of the cited composers. Occasionally, tiny photos appear over the (quiet) image in the center panel, immediately dissolving.
Slowly, the whole is overgrown by a growing tree (time). We already saw this tree at the beginning. When the music again starts from the beginning, the panels are empty again and the tree starts to grow again. Die ewige Wiederkehr, Nietzsche would say :-)
