Some notes on Fragments Accumulate at Convent de Sant Agusti

Fragments Accumulate with Hiroko Komiya premiered at Convent de Sant Agusti in Barcelona on 11/21. This was my second trip to this wonderful space, and it did not disappoint. This year Hiroko and I were part of a larger audiovisual festival which addressed how artists are dealing with the climate crisis. The festival link is here . I was really honored to be part of this.

We both introduced a new set of sounds and I incorporated some new super 8 images as well. The set lasted a little over 40 minutes. A fantastic crowd and response. The sounds, pace, mood, images all seemed to flow together well. A beautiful experience. We documented the set and the rehearsals, so that material will be available in some capacity in the future. Quite a few new ideas emerged from this show too. Massive thanks to Convent de Sant Agusti and the entire team. We hope to be going back soon.

Fragments Accumulate live in Barcelona on 11/21/24 at Convent de Sant Agusti

Really looking forward to heading back to Barcelona for Fragments Accumulate with Hiroko Komiya. Details below:

Fragments accumulate is an audiovisual concert performed by sound artist Hiroko Komiya  (voices, objects, lap harp, zither…) and film and sound artist Chris H. Lynn (objects, field recordings, piano, image manipulation digital and Super 8).

Explorations through soundscapes where memory, contemplation and poetry are conjured. A performance where organic sonorities pass through – the objects struck, the reciting voice, the piano…- and the power that results from the resonances that Komiya and Lynn seek, manipulate and transform. Here is a link to the Convent.

More details soon.

A Quiet Garden

Hello everyone, Very happy to share this new release with Hiroko Komiya on this winter solstice.  Enjoy.

A Quiet Garden -静かな庭- 　日本語下記

One Winter Morning
Light shines through the gaps in the trees
The sound of the wind
Echo Heard
Audible swells
Standing still and remembering
Various Scenery, Various Moments
In this quiet garden
In this quiet garden

ある冬の朝
樹々の隙間から光がさし
聴こえてくる風の音
聴こえてくるエコー
聴こえてくるうねり
立ちつくして想い出す
様々な景色　様々な瞬間
この静かな庭で　この静かな庭で

Moving Text

Ana Villas Boas describes herself as an Urban sociologist and runner focused on studies about soundscapes and silence. Over at Keep Moving Flow she has written some wonderful lines on a few of my films/sounds and how it relates to her running practice. This perspective is really quite unique, but makes perfect sense. Look for more post on this topic soon, but for now take a trip to  São Paulo, Brasil and enjoy her words.
