| Summary |
"Richard Tognetti, Artistic Director of the ACO, had always wanted to collaborate with a visual artist. But which one? He wanted to create a spellbinding event, not just a soundtrack, through the combination of sound and vision. Then he saw the work of Bill Henson and Luminous was born. In addition to Henson and Tognetti, Luminous harnesses the sound designs of composer Paul Healy and the vocal talents of Paul Capsis, in an amazing multimedia collaboration. The film immerses the viewer in the world of Luminous, a concert that was performed only four times in 2005. The artists are interviewed about the nature of their collaboration and a range of visual and musical highlights from the performance are featured. The repertoire is an eclectic mix of works with disparate styles, often linked by Healy's evocative soundscapes. Henson's photography is projected onto a screen behind the ACO which adds a compelling visual dimension to the performance. The concert includes 20th century classical works through to pop classics and includes; Schnittke's Trio Sonata, Britten's Corpus Christi Carol, REM's I've Been High and Peteris Vasks' Violin Concerto, Distant Light'. Capsis also performs several songs, including Astor Piazzolla's Oblivion, and lends an ethereal, vulnerable quality to the performance, with his high unearthly voice."--website |
