Text of Light
Alan Licht, DJ Olive, Lee Ranaldo & Marina Rosenfeld
performing with the film I Take These Truths
The Text of Light group was formed in 2001 with the idea to perform improvised music to the films of Stan Brakhage and other members of 1950-60s American Cinema avant-garde (Brakhage’s film Text of Light was the premiere performance and namesake of the group). The original premise was to improvise (not illustrate) to the 1950-60s American Avant-Garde Films, an under-known period of American filmic poetics. Members of the group include Lee Ranaldo and Alan Licht (gtrs/devices), Christian Marclay and DJ Olive (turntables), William Hooker (drums/perc), Ulrich Krieger (sax/electronics), and most recently Tim Barnes (drums/perc). Various combinations of these players attend Text of Light gigs thereby presenting various group permutations while other times all members participate.

CINEMAGE 2007, 65 minutes, slide projections and guitar improvisation.
With live performances by Loren Connors and Alan Licht
Saturday & Sunday, September 1 & 2 at 8pm
Anthology Film Archives 32 2nd Ave (at 2nd St.) www.anthologyfilmarchives.org
Each night will include the New York premiere of two new Cinemage pieces!
A THOUSAND LIGHTS AND NIGHTS
A HIDDEN PLACE FOR BIRDS
CINEMAGE is Aki Onda’s audio-visual project, performances of which are composed of slide projections of still photographs and guitar improvisation. “Cinemage” means “images for cinema,” or “homage for cinema.” The visual images in CINEMAGE are snapshots taken from Onda’s daily life. By documenting fragments of his personal life, something is revealed in their accumulation ‘ the particulars within lose significance. What emerges is the architecture, and the essence, of memory.

Hand-colored black-and-white film images that have been “carefully chosen from the billions created during the tumultuous century since the moving image first appeared.” Live music by an organ player, and the Trinity Choir. Isabella Rosselini, in the audience. All of this in St. John’s Cathedral of the Divine–if you’re not there this weekend, you’re crazy.
