What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
Sonic ‘observations’ of the world, through micro recordings on a tiny scale and transformed into something musically compelling.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.

Birthed from the collective stagger in global consciousness of the late 50’s and 60’s, this programme celebrates epochal, groundbreaking films that all address sound in their own way and that have opened pathways to experimentation.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
