In March 2024 a live visual performance of Grafica Harmolodica opened the 63rd Ann Arbor Film Festival. A multimedia installation was presented for the duration of the festival.
Grafica Harmolodica is less the documentary of a jazz performance than a visual improvisation on a musical idea: the radical approach to creativity avant-garde music pioneer Ornette Coleman called Harmolodics.
Single frames from the resulting video piece are printed on canvas as large scale photographs. Invoking Jung’s principle of synchronicity, even the most abstract of these compositions carry the essence of the moment in which they were taken—including the energy of the music made by the musicians.
