Synopsis

Why does the musician’s arrival repeat itself? It differs in nuances. Are these different levels of possibility for arrival? Does it reflect the idea that there could be several possible “futures,” and each arrival opens a gap for one of the possible futures? The musician samples perceptions. He sorts them, arranges them, combines them, translates them into audible events. Everyday poetry from an artist’s life. The piano, this historical cultural instrument, is confronted with the sounds of the modern universal instrument – the computer. The visual layer – filmed on classic 16mm film stock – is processed with the modern universal instrument. Connections between the musician, the instrument, the music, the work, the future, and the loss of them, are made visible.
