Abstract: | Abstractions of Holderness is an audio-visual work inspired by Basil Kirchin’s 1970s residency in East Yorkshire. Kirchin, an English drummer and composer, is known as a pioneer of musique concrète and has been described by Brian Eno as, “a founding father of ambient”. http://blanchepictures.com/abstractions-of-holderness/ A collaborative work by Esther Johnson and Saint Etienne’s Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs Music by Pete Wiggs Music performed by BBC Concert Orchestra Cinematography and Editing by Esther Johnson Year: 2017 Duration: 00:12:30 Country of Production: UK Production Format: HD Picture: Colour Sound: Stereo Supported by Arts Council England and Hull2017 UK City of Culture Performances with Live Music Mind on the Run: The Basil Kirchin Story Musical Modernism: Will Gregory with BBC Concert Orchestra and Special Guests Hull City Hall, Queen Victoria Square, Hull HU1 3RQ 15:00 19.02.17 Cinema Screenings The Green Room @ The Black Box Belfast 15:00 10.09.17 ArtHouse Crouch End London 18:00 27.08.17 Jazz on Film 2017 HOME Manchester Jazz Festival 18:30 29.07.17 Conference and Symposia Hull: City of Cinema screening, and panel member, University of Hull, Middleton Hall, HU6 7RX 25.03.17 Reviews ‘Gentle and contemplative in tone, it is beautifully shot by Johnson who makes real virtue of the sparse, down at heel East Yorkshire locations. Seizing upon the peninsula’s wilderness misrule, her eye is magnetically drawn to unusual or overlooked details, imbuing them with the patina of exiled melancholy. Fans of Patrick Keiller’s Robinson films will note the quiet desperation that hovers just beneath the film’s brilliant surfaces.’ Neil Mudd ‘beautiful short film providing a montage of the region where Kirchin spent part of his life’ KCOM |
