- Summary
- This video is a concert (part of BAM 2011 Next Wave Festival) featuring a "big band" performing along with live painting and animated film. Notes from the house program: "In the teeming metropolis of a future Brooklyn, longtime residents and fresh arrivals work together to preserve their vulnerable neighborhoods. But plans are afoot to construct an immense tower...the tallest in the world...right in the heart of the city, and Lev, a local master carpenter, finds himself torn between ambition and community when he is commisioned to bulid the carousel that will crown it. This urban fable unfolds wordlessly in Danijel Zezelj's animation and live painting, and Darcy James Argue's original score, performed live by 18-piece big band Secret Society. The expressive immediacy and impact of live music and painting are channels through the dramatic structure of the storyline and the flow of the animation. The performance is built on a carefully orchestrated interchange of live music, painting, and animation. It combines the rhythm, time, volume, and space of these elements, creating a unique narrative language."
