(y)our passing glance (rev. 2023)

Setting:

MULTI-TRACKED SOLO FLUTE

Composed, performed on flute, danced, choreographed directed and edited by Annie Nikunen

Story:

I conceived, directed, danced in, choreographed and edited this short film for a group exhibition at Dordor Gallery, originally set to silence, as they couldn't pair sound with it in the gallery space. In 2023, I created a multi-channel, multi-screen installation with the film at NYU's Audio Lab, pairing it with a structured improvisation I performed and recorded on flute. I first used Ableton with physical controls on the Ableton Push to delay and heavily reverb my live sound, and then put that in Logic where I chopped up certain moments and layered them onto the initial track. In the installation, the piece played through 50 channels, and the film was projected on four screens on each wall (pictures attached in link above). The same film is playing on each wall, but some are mirror-flipped, making it seem as if I'm interacting with myself between screens. In editing the film, I wanted the effect of "multi-tracking" my body to mirror the delay/reverb of the flute, a video editing tool I’ve utilized in a number of my dance films.
