He was a founder of the Cellar Jazz Club which in turn brought the likes of Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry to town. He was doing some very experimental stuff in the 60's and it's a real inspiration to hear what was going on in Vancouver at the time. For those that don't know Al has been a very interesting character on the Vancouver scene since the 50's. Of the two I am much more familiar with Al Neil's work and have been listening to his music and read one of his books Changes a while ago.

One centred on painter Jack Wise, the other on jazz pianist, visual artist and writer Al Neil. This evening took on a different feel than the first with two of the films being documentaries clocking in at 40 and 45 minutes. It was a special time with lots of creative like minded people on the scene. His response was something to the effect of that they were just part of the same scene at SFU and it was one of those things that just happened. In talking with Rimmer during the Q&A I asked him how this collaboration came about. Upon further inspection of this filmography it appears that Werren soundtracked at least one film of Rimmer's Looks like my instincts were right associating Rimmer with Philip Werren. It feels like blobs and plants ebbing and flowing together in a most delectible and erotic way. His newer work is abstract morphing and very organic animation. My third favourite and one of his newer films was An Eye for an Eye. From my notes and recollections the film has a dark heavy mood to it and utilizes a lot of motion with gestures which I found to anthropomorphize elements in the frame. I'd definitely benefit and appreciate repeated viewings in order to get the most out of it. This film had a lot going on it and is difficult to pin down. Local Knowledge - The second big highlight of the evening for me. This can especially be heard on the limited to 96 copies CDR "Il Est Exact (Que Je Ne Sors Pas De Ma Maison)" Given their sound this could have been hugely influential on them as they really push the loop to the extreme in similar ways. It reminded me of the French musical duo Drahomira Song Orchestra. Some brief comments on my top three films:īricolage - a playful piece made of loops pushed to their extreme highlighting the personalities within the loops and bringing them to the forefront. He is best known for his amazing video feedback work along and as a part of Trypton Media. Funnily enough these picks were shared with my friend Merlyn who also attended. Of the evening my favourites of the works I hadn't seen before were Bricolage, Local Knowledge and An Eye for an Eye.

Okay this follow-up post on the second evening of David Rimmer films at the Cinematheque has been far to long in coming but life just kept getting in the way.įor those that missed the the first evening you can catch a small re-cap of Variations on a Cellophane Wrapper and Surfacing on the Thames here, although nowhere near as good as seeing them screened. Lots of thoughts about all of this but I'm feeling lazy at the moment so I'm just going to let them speak for themselves. for some reason the beginnings are not the same) These are some old posts and have been online for a while but given the nature of this post they're worth mentioning to anyone that may not have seen them:ĭon Buchla interview: (separate links to the audio and video streams. It's a rare treat to be able to hear these amazing instruments showcased all on their own allowing you to experience the rich ranges of sound and expression. The second is a compilation of music made using EMS Synthesizers. While these are all great a particular favourite of mine is Episode 13: Electronics in Jazz. Lots of great stuff hear and an opportunity to hear many gems.
#The cameraman just kept recording omgwhut series#
This series of shows gives a nice look at early electronic music around the world and features the different evolutions of electronic music in different countries. To kick things off here's a few things I've been listening to as of late which I think are worth sharing.įirst: Ian Helliwell's radio show/blog The Tone Generation as broadcast on Resonance FM. Been busy enjoying summer out doing things and so haven't posted anything in a while.
