Since 2000 all of Saunders work has been devoted to the project titled #[unassigned], where he overlays short pieces in different combination. A unique version is prepared specifically for each individual performance. Plus Minus is an Anglo/Belgium octet committed to avant-garde, improvisational, and experimental open instrumentation pieces such as Stockhausen's 1963 classic, from which the group takes its name. More information at http://www.james-saunders.com/ and http://www.plusminusensemble.com/ Steve Reich - Piano Phase Performed by Plus Minus members Roderick Chadwick & Mark Knoop. A classic of early minimalism, in Piano Phase (1967) the two pianists begin by repeating a rapid figure in unison. One player continues while the other slowly speeds up until they converge, at which point a new figure is introduced and the process begins again. More information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano_Phase Continuum 16mm multi-projection with pre-recorded sound and improvised violin. - film by Samantha Rebello - sound by Angharad Davies A line. The same thing repeating itself. Static but moving, changing without becoming anything other than it was. Pulse. Discontinuous flow of information. Endless repetition though never the same. Continuum - a film whose gradual construction equates with it's own disintegration. Rebello & Davies are working on a series of experimental works exploring the possibilities for interaction between film and sound. ***************************************************************** After July 2006, Rational Rec will be taking a break until our next season starts in October 2006. More information will be on this newsletter in the near future.
