76 - Labyrinth Installation Concertos: Room No. 35

A classical composition reimagined for the tech generation
Classical music and technological innovation are seen by many as being, for the best part, mutually exclusive – something the Labyrinth Installation Concertos project, created by New York-based artist and composer Paola Prestini, aims to change.
Comprised of two audio-visual pieces – "Room No. 35" (premiering today) and "House of Solitude" – the pioneering project fuses live performance with video art to expand the boundaries of multimedia works. A new work by video artist Erika Harrsch allows cellist Maya Beiser to trigger ‘3D’ visuals, created by Harrsch and filmmaker Carmen Kordas, in real time.
“The wider intention of the project is to give the listener a through-composed journey that leaves one moved, intrigued, fulfilled and thinking about their own personal labyrinthine journeys,” says Prestini, whose work has appeared in the Whitney Museum and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
“My compositional intention was to create a multimedia work that had operatic dimensions for abstract voices, while technically achieving a deeper level of integration between live technology and my compositional language.”

74 - Michelangelo Pistoletto at Blenheim Palace

Painter and object artist Michelangelo Pistoletto is a leading figure in the Italian contemporary art movement, Arte Povera. Taking a radical stance against the art institution in the 1960s and early 1970s, Arte Povera artists believed that art was should not be, and could not be, disconnected from daily life. A new film by Danish director Mike Nybroe captures the artist’s retrospective show at the UK’s Blenheim Palace, where Pistoletto's varied pieces sit amongst the ornate interiors of the spectacular space. Here, Blenheim Art Foundation director Michael Frahm talks about the collaboration:

72 - “High and Low”

High and Low - Empire of the Sun - Director's Cut from Roof Studio on Vimeo.

We recently partnered with Australian electronic music duo Empire of the Sun on the music video for their single, “High and Low.”
Using a mix of live-action and fantastical CG animation, we visualized the experience of a psychedelic trip, weaving together two worlds: the physical reality of the journeyers and their surreal emotional destination, a fantastical world of which Empire of the Sun’s duo serve as the “emperors.” The gorgeous, surreal visual journey captures the song’s euphoric celebration of the innocence and boldness of youth.
