This slow art-film concert by Book of Air and the video film-maker Wim Van Egmond refers to 'Room Tone': silence recorded at a location where neither music nor speech is to be heard. By incorporating this still slowness into the compositions, the details of the sounds played take on a prominent role. The silence reinforces the perception of these tones and the experience of the space around you. You enjoy it and relax. Stretched out on a mat and, if you wish, with your own pillow.
Wim Van Egmond is fascinated by single-cell creatures and other almost invisible life-forms. His images are realistic, but appear abstract because we do not know their subjects. These slow-growing microcosms are the ideal visual accompaniment to the music of Book of Air, which surges between minimalism, electronic art and organic post-rock.
