Phill Niblock, The Movement of People Working, 1973/1991. (c) the artist

This leading US minimalist composer and filmmaker, presents his music and films simultaneously in a special concert. The films, made between 1973-1991, focus on labourers working in locations including Peru, Mexico, China and Japan. His slowly evolving music of long tones echoes the workers’ repetition, to create an otherworldly experience.

The evening includes Stosspeng, a guitar duet composed for Susan Stenger and Robert Poss. Inspired by Morton Feldman, La Monte Young and John Cale, Niblock’s work continues to influence a generation of musicians.

Produced by AV Festival.
