(course for Artscience, 2006\/7\/8)
\ntaught together with Horst Rickels<\/p>\n
Diagonal Montage offers an introduction to the many ways to compose possible relationships between image and sound in time. Two ideas introduced by filmmaker and montage theorist Sergei Eisenstein will serve as points of departure: \u2018horizontal montage\u2019 arises from the interaction between meaningful elements juxtaposed within a temporal sequence, while \u2018vertical montage\u2019 refers to the interaction of simultaneously present layers within the work, for example the imagetrack and the soundtrack.<\/p>\n
The course will consist of hands-on activities, using low-tech but hi-fi video and audio techniques to create abstract image & sound experiments. Each experiment will be based on a radically different approach to montage, in order to explore the wide range of possibilities. Counterpoint to this practical activity will be the discussion of theoretical texts and the analysis of examples taken from the history of experimental cinema, music and sound.<\/p>\n
