"...lilac shrieks and scarlet bellowings..."

Film in 6 movements, based on related texts of E. E. Cummings that focus on themes of nature and the cycle of life. The sonic material, created by Mikel Kuehn http://mikelkuehn.com/, is derived from manipulated environmental sounds and the recitation of Cummings texts by soprano Deborah Norin-Kuehn. The images were created first (the idea was to create a life in 4 parts, followed by a "recollection" of that life, as if at the moment of death, in the 5th and final movement). The sonic material came later and added an in-between part, visually blank, thus bringing the total to 6 movements.
