Just back from hearing Klangforum Wien perform music by Christian Fennesz to accompany the silent film documenting (and often fictionalizing) the hand-to-mouth yet joyful life of an Inuit family, shot in the 1920's---Nanook of the North. Wailing guitars, 2 violins, cello, contrabass, turntables...an extravagant setup, which mostly served to enhance the film, especially when the music became more transparent. You can find any number of film clips from Nanook on YouTube, but beware, the soundtracks are often deplorable. The striking photos resulting from Yvonne's invitation to model her hairdresser's artistry have nothing to do with the performance but they arrived a few hours ago and I wanted to share them, sofort. Enjoy!
