Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?

A sound diffusion piece by Glasgow University’s Musica Electronica, and a further selection of electroacoustic performances.

Intriguing, underground, Berlin based musicians interested in the borders between music and theatre, language, the visual arts, politics.
The films in the programme take the essential and fundamental building blocks of cinema (combining sound and image through time) screw about with them, interrogate them and cast them anew.
