[mysterious music playing] is a spectacular mixture of live sound performance, cinema, and kinetic sculpture:
The artist duo Vinyl-terror & -horror, consisting of Camilla Sørensen and Greta Christensen, works at the intersection of sound and visual art. The duo is known for their captivating turntable concerts and immersive, humorous, post-apocalyptic sound installations.
[mysterious music playing] is a playful homage to the art of analogue film sound creation. The narrative core of Vinyl-terror & -horror's sound performance is a collage of found film clips with subtitles for the hearing impaired describing various sounds, moods or specific actions. Removed from their original cinematic context, the film stills are reassembled into an open-ended narrative with eerie undertones. These filmic montages are accompanied by a live turntable soundtrack and mechanical "Foley" sculptures that interpret the sounds described in the subtitles in a dialectical and humorous way.
The performance plays with the way we automatically construct meanings and contexts from narrative 'cues', exploring the narrative possibilities and limitations of image, text and music.
