Moondial

Just wrapped a production shoot for the new work for cello and video, Moondial. The work features cellist Robbie Bui. We captured Robbie performing one of the two parts on video, then flipped the image as he performs live alongside it. The work is conceived to be either an installation work (two videos) or to be performed (one live cellist alongside the second cellist as video / mirror / digital avatar). The working title of the piece is Twin Paradox. As we worked through the staging and costuming, a different title seemed necessary. While Twin Paradox captures the sensations of phasing and temporal rift in the piece, the title Moondial reflects the historic and mythological aspects of the work’s staged context.

We are aiming for a late spring release of the video, so stay tuned.
