'A hallucinogenic canvas of images whose narcotic effect is violently strengthened by a thundering, dissonant soundtrack by Michael Gordon.' That's how Dennis Harvey described the premiere of Bill Morrison's film 'Decasia' in Variety. This much lauded experimental film-maker used old film to make a universally appealing new avant-garde film with live music and electronics. 'Decasia' can be described as an old-fashioned trip. The images consist of extremely grainy archive material, backed-up by a 70-minute symphonic piece by the 'Bang on a Can' composer Michael Gordon. His music fits seamlessly with the film: he is striving for a sound that smells like mothballs… And the result is a finale with four out-of-tune pianos and an orchestra, balancing on the edge of 'tunefulness'. A real challenge for the Flemish Radio Orchestra, who do great justice to their multi-dimensional reputation as a film-score orchestra. At the end of this concert, music@venture will be brought to a close with 4'33", the legendary four minutes and thirty three seconds of silence by John Cage. The symphonic version of course.
