cine improvisado 8O
A spectacular collaboration between prize winning Canadian animator Pierre Hébert and cutting edge electronics wizard Bob Ostertag. Outrageous noise sampling interacts with spontaneously created live animation in this groundbreaking improvisational work, refined and perfected for this exclusive DVD release.
Bob Ostertag has been at the cutting edge of new music for two decades, an influential pioneer in digital sampling and recording working with such new-musical luminaries as the Kronos Quartet and John Zorn. Montreal's Pierre Hébert is a longtime animator, a master of the unusual craft of scratch animation (making cinema byengraving directly onto film). In performance the pair create a live film. Hébertmakes images by drawing marker on paper, chalk on chalkboard, blowing dust onmirrors and manipulating piles of garbage. Ostertag records the sound of thedetritus while also spawning shapes on a digital drawing tablet. Although technicallyintensive, the piece doesn't celebrate technology but questions it. Ostertagand Hébert are merely trying to make sense out of science and garbage— a more explicit rendition of the situation we all live with every day.
