Grafica Harmolodica
March. 26,2024Grafica Harmolodica mixes video, photography, sound, and chance to explore improvisation, abstraction, synchronicity, and surprise. Based on video shot by Olson of avant-garde musician and composer Ornette Coleman performing in Harmolodic Studio in 2003, the installation is less documentation of that performance than visual improvisation on musical ideas. Using six monitors, a wall projection, and large-scale prints, the installation presents graphic compositions created 20 years later when the video was remixed to the original performance soundtrack.
Reviews
Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
