TABULA SMARAGDINAlive performance by Thomas Köner & Jürgen Reble
image: J.Reble
A pulsating sphere of pure colours without focus slowly turns to solid structures: cristallized salts and dyes wich are changing rhythm and structure constantly between moving images. Inside the chemical elements of the film appears the bizarre richness of its materiality. The interference of the two projectors and the number of layers in the film emulsion produces spatial depth in intervals.
The optical sound systems of the projectors are scanning the image structures. This noise is transformed by live-electronic treatments, creating a process which unfolds the musical space. The musical perspective is constantly shifting through the sonic coordinates of the Tabula Smaragdina: movements in the irridescent space of close and far away timbres decay into a deep, circulating silence.
The variation of film-speed, direction and changing colours discovers a microcosmos of 15.000 single frames. Finally the projection ends in an abstract film strip which moves slowly upwards in a slow and nearly unperceivable speed. TABULA SMARAGDINAlive performance by Thomas Köner & Jürgen Reble
