Description

The first in a series of collaborative works pairing artists working in visual and auditory mediums, Étude 1a: Release (I) meditates on a musical concept through experiments with sound and film. Exploring the musical concept of "release," this film is a haunting found-footage study in the plurality of visual and auditory meanings of the term.
