Jan Bark

In 1965, Swedish composer/musician Jan Bark proposed an experiment for a new kind of 'music for black-and-white TV'. Bark's friend Erkki Kurenniemi programmed the animations. The original version was lost: this reconstruction was made with the help of Bark's diaries, laboratory notes and reminiscences from people involved.

Through close-ups, multiexposures and editing in camera we follow a colorful toucan in a cage in bright sunlight. The film was shot in San Francisco in composer Pauline Oliveros' garden. Shot in 8 mm

Performance with Ken Dewey and Erkki Kurenniemi, et al. Shot in 8mm.
