Video: Konrad Steiner "Suites for Faces"

"The video will be selected from "Suite for Face," a collection of 4-6 minute clips made for improvising musicians. The imagery consists of moments of acting without words in scenes from a wide variety of feature films. The sound is muted and the actors' expressions and movements are visually abstracted and slowed down to create expanded moments ripe for interpretation by both musicians and audience."

Several of the scenes using material from Music Plus One will be up at www.markszine.com in September.
Cost : $10 - $15 sliding scale
