Boston duo of saxophonist Bhob Rainey and trumpeter Greg Kelley approach their improvisations with a slew if extended techniques and pregnant silences.
Nothing if not repetitive, film is founded on the incremental succession of minute difference. But how does repetition of the same play out, and is it a tool to comment on the standardising repetition of the mass media?

A solo improvisation using just the situation of the concert: a space, a PA, Mattin’s own thoughts, you, the audience.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
