BRAKHAGE
Andreas MELAND, LASSE MARHAUG

"My first encounter with the films of Stan Brakhage was when The Hafler Trio showed 'Loud Visual Noises' as a support to a concert. The Hafler Trio were part of the soundtrack. The explosions of paint, scratches and sound in this relatively short film made a huge impression on me. Shortly after that I got this film on video together with some other ones, and since then I have been enjoyed the work of Brakhage. His style is truly unique and is hard to describe for those who never seen one. Many of his films have no sound, so it's always engaging for musicians to pick a film and make their own soundtrack to it. Two different films are subject to soundtracks here. The first is 'Dog Star Man', a film of two layers of images of Brakhage at work, chopping wood, wrestling with a tree and other activities as a woodsman, combined with images of the sun and stars. It's a poetic film to which Andreas Meland made a likewise poetic music piece of glitchy, warm, ambient melodies that occasionally burst into a somewhat more noise field, but it's never over the top. Played on what seems to me some organ like plug ins, he crafts a most appropriate soundtrack for this."
