Alumni in Residence: HALL presents soft fizz
Launched in 2020 as part of AIL.alternate during Lockdown 01Video work by Benjamin Tomasi and Samuel Schaab aka HALL
HALL transfers the concept of their site-specific sound performance for the AIL to a video work. Step by step, the corners of an imaginary space are explored. Sound triggers images and actions generate sounds. Instruments, objects, light & fluids interrogate each other in the seminary-like concatenation of this probing.
HALL combines visual and tonal strategies, deconstructs them and creates minimal performative sound settings from these fragments. Each performance is a new composition for the space in which it takes place. Synthesizers, rhythm machines, flame drones, flashes of light and fragments of speech, objects, smoke and silence combine to create a semi-narrative event.
