LAAH 110 DEPARTMENT OF MOVING IMAGE IMPROVISATION
Installation by Thorsten Knaub
Daily 9h30 to 17h00

DIY soundtracks. This workshop/installation invited the WSF participants to be inspired by the visuals or narrative of specially selected and projected movie clips and use them as trigger for their shakuhachi improvisation. People were encouraged to explore alone or as a team, or simply relax, listen and enjoy.

The clips chosen ranged from early 20th Century Japanese silent movies, classic samurai movies (1950s/60s), american western, Godzilla films (1970s/80s) and other selectd extracts, culminating intomost recent NASA footage from the moon.
