<a href="http://visualmusic.ning.com/video/stabat-mater"><br /> <img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/1942569514?profile=original&amp;width=240&amp;height=135" width="240" height="135" alt="Thumbnail" /><br /> </a><br />Yet another collaboration with Paola Erdas (<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/tag:paolaerdas">http://www.vimeo.com/tag:paolaerdas</a>).<br /> The previous one (<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/25819903">http://www.vimeo.com/25819903</a>) was a tragic lullaby sung by Mary to her baby Jesus, this one is taking place as she is standing ("Stabat Mater") by the cross.<br /> The music is sung by Lia Serafini, with the Janas Ensemble conducted from the harpsichord by Paola Erdas (<a href="http://www.paolaerdas.it/">http://www.paolaerdas.it/</a>).<br /> Music composed by Giovanni Felice Sances (circa 1600 - 1679).<br /> <br /> An old friend, former drawing student of mine, may have found a key for entering the work, which can be difficult at times. She was familiar with my natural media work, but her first encounter with my digital "time-art" brought this remark:<br /> "My questions, at first, were around the movement between the sound/music and the imagings.<br /> The movement /relationship felt uncertain, then as I kept a soft eye on the paintings moving--all worked...together."<br /> <br /> "...a soft eye..."<br /> <br /> "Just looking" as distinct from "looking for..."<br /> <br /> As with my natural media work, this is much more about uncovering bits of "not-doing" than exhibiting any evidence of "control" and/or intentional action...<br /> <br /> I dedicate this piece to the memory of Cy Twombly, who died recently (July 5, 2011).
