'Omniphobia': Experimental Music and Video

FOR BEST RESULTS USE HEADPHONES!!

Omniphobia: The fear of everything.

A Metaphor for Our Times.

Experimental electro-acoustic music.

The composition is paired with the experimental film 'Window' (1964) by Ken Jacobs. The following is an official description of the film:

"The moving camera shapes the screen image with great purposefulness, using the frame of a window as fulcrum upon which to wheel about the exterior scene. The zoom lens rips, pulling depth planes apart and slapping them together, contracting and expanding in concurrence with camera movements to impart a terrific apparent-motion to the complex of the object-forms pictured on the horizontal-vertical screen, its axis steadied by the audience's sense of gravity. The camera's movements in being transferred to objects tend also to be greatly magnified (instead of the camera the adjacent building turns). About four years of studying the window-complex preceded the afternoon of actual shooting (a true instance of cinematic action-painting). The film exists as it came out of the camera barring one mechanically necessary mid-reel splice".

Once I had coupled the film with my music, the notion of 'omniphobia' came to mind. The overall effect does seem a little unsettling!!!

Your music works effectively like a steady and slow-moving mise en scene for the film's jagged busyness. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to this!

A great whole with the film and music combined. The great thing you do is giving new life to these films and let a new audience see them (as in my case) 👍
