a rolling mindI am happy to announce A Rolling Mind, my audio visual collaboration with Una Lee, will be screened tomorrow night at The Heritage Film Festival. The schedule is here .The Heritage Film Festival is curated by the incredible O.Funmilayo Makarah. As I stated in a post last year, I am always grateful to be part of her festival, this is my sixth year.   I am providing a number of links to check out her legendary film work and bio. I was fortunate enough to see some films presented  at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C and it is defiantly worth checking out. A number of the LA Rebellion filmmakers will be present at the festival. More on this later.

Lynlee on Haze’s latest Sound Interpretation Series: Jack Kerouac

cover-2

Lynlee  composed a track specifically for Haze’s latest Sound Interpretation series dedicated to Jack Kerouac. The track entitled “A Taste of Rainy Dawn” has Una and me reading Kerouac’s haikus in English and Korean with additional field recordings and soundscapes. The piece was really a pleasure to make and we hope it captures a certain feeling in the haikus. To listen or download go here.   Lots of great things to discover. More from Lynlee soon.

Una Lee’s Grainy Thoughts CDR

cover

When I first heard Una Lee’s disc Grainy Thoughts I was immediately captivated by its diversity and  mystery. Lee manages to incorporate an eclectic use of sounds to create something innovative and quite compelling. This is no easy task. Styles range from experimental field recordings, sound art,   noise,  and improv piano compositions-each track is rendered with imagination and skill.

From the haunting drones of “A Quiet Rumble” to the delicate, intricate rhythms of “A Rolling Mind” or to the reflective, nostalgic beauty of “A weary conversation” the listener is free to engage and explore.

The disc is now available on Una Lee’s bandcamp page with additional tracks and her own handmade paper case. Like the music, the handmade case is beautiful and displayed with authenticity and care. This is a stunning debut! I look forward to hearing more great things from this South Korean Artist.
