I've got a new short film/music/performance showing next week in the East End at this :
and what I'm doing is this :
which I've described like this :
James B L Hollands & Akoustik Timbre Frekuency - "Into The Silence" - 15 minutes, 2013
Using footage from J.B.L. Noel's "Epic of Everest", J.B.L. Hollands finds correlations between not only the initials of the filmmaker, but with his work. Re-editing Noel's footage of George Mallory's fatal Everest expedition of 1924, Hollands resamples his own past audio work, to create a vision of artistic work as doomed failure, while Akoustik Timbre Frekuency add : Tibetan horns, tikgsha, singing bowls, bells, gong and shamanik rattle to echo the first performances of this film, which were performed as a "total" cinematic experience, as Noel had arranged for 7 Tibetan monks from Gyantse to perform alongside the film. The Tibetan government subsequently lodged an official diplomatic protest, an affair which became known as the "Affair of the Dancing Lamas". It had profound and lasting political consequences, undercutting the reforms of the 13th Dalai Lama, which politically weakened Tibet against the invasion of the Chinese, and led to the problems Tibet has suffered ever since.
For this screening, Akoustik Timbre Frekuency's will be providing a recorded track not a live performance.
