" – Peu importe d’où l’on vient. Il n’y a pas de tonique. Le thème et son développement ne sont qu’un mirage…
Il y a une musique toujours inattendue.
– Et les dissonances ?
– Dieu les a créées, elles aussi…"
Jaume Cabré - "Voyage d'hiver" - 2014

”La terre, il se pourrait bien après tout que ce soit une espèce
de merveilleux petit appareil enregistreur, plaçé là par on ne sait qui,
pour capter tous les bruits qui circulent mystérieusement dans l’Univers.”
Pierre Reverdy - ”En vrac” - 1929

”J’entends tous les bruits de la terre grâce à mes oreilles et mes nerfs de cristal
dans lesquels circulent le feu du ciel et celui des volcans.”
Michel Leiris - ”Le point cardinal” - 1927

"L'écoute, c'est l'ombre de la composition"

Graeme Miller, eye and circles

 


Graeme Miller is an english artist, theatre maker and composer. Emerging from the bold and influential stage work of Impact Theatre Co-operative in the 1980s, a group he co-founded, his own work now embraces a wide range of media.

His work 'Eye' is a recent short video.

'Beheld'  was an amazing and deep sensitive 2006 's audio-visual installation evocating phenomenon of people who fell from the sky...

'A Girl Skipping' was made in 1990. Its final performance was in 1991, having toured internationally and having left a strong legacy of influence on those who saw it and an equally strong legacy in the personal and artistic lives of those who came together to make it.  

'Re-Play' is this recent work using audio and visual which assembles words from separate audio recordings made in 2009/2010 with the core performers – Heather Ackroyd, Emma Bernard, David Coulter, Liz Kettle and Barnaby Stone. The film, shot on stop motion Super-8 at the Alhambra Theatre in Bradford in 1991 (with Frank Bock in David Coulter's role), has been slowed down 18 times to become a grainy staccato – a rhythmic visual track to accompany a pan-aural assembly of words that are clues to the process and ethos of the work. 

An attractive climax in between the spirit of Robert Ashley and "dreams", the famous piece of Delia Derbyshire.
