253’ 11" (2016) - 9 min, expanded cinema performance
A “live” experimental film on 16mm and a farewell to my upright piano. The piano was modified to allow clear 16mm leader to run through the middle of the piano, between every hammer and set of strings, out the other side, through a projector, and onto a growing pile on the floor. A small ‘marker’ made of a plastic straw, felt and fast-drying alcohol ink was affixed to each hammer and then punctured, allowing it to mark the film with ink whenever its corresponding key was played. The color scheme of the white notes repeats within each octave and corresponds to the color spectrum. The black notes all used black ink.
Special thanks to Annelyse Gelman, Arty Johnstone, Nate Carlson, James Meder, as well as everyone else who came for the performance.
