‘Cinegraffic Score’ is a 6 meter collage of orphaned and found celluloid film. This is reconfigured into a graphic musical score, with obscure narratives emerging as the film is reanimated. The soundtrack emerges from magnetic tape loops, field recordings, audio fragments and a DIY visual synthesiser.
