NOVEMBER 13. OPTOFONICA DVD
Marking another superb audio-visual project for 12k offshoot Line, this DVD brings together abstract visual and auditory imagery in order to "shift the observer’s attention from the physical objects that stimulate perception to the act of perception itself."
Among the assembled musicians/composers are such familiar names as Mira Calix, Frank Bretschneider, Kaffe Matthews, Skoltz_Kolgen, Scanner and Kim Cascone. Probably the most formidable and ambitious Line mixed media project to date, the Optofonica DVD has a total running time that's not far off two-and-a-half hours and comes in both stereo and 5.1 mixes.
Highly recommended. (boomkat, UK)
DVD/Book combo. Available now on LINE.
