MUSIC BASED FILM

Simultaneous Time Layers and their Interactions

In conventional filmmaking both the music and the audio ambience of the film is usually about to serve the visuals and the whole context of a story. In music clips the moving images are filling up the space and the time or often just illustrating to more or less simple sound and audio materials. In his presentations the composer, media artist, Tibor Szemző (www.szemzo.hu) describes the mechanism of music based filmmaking through his personal approximations and experiences. Szemző?fs artistic ambition is to put music and film into one. Through his own works in the field in the past 25 years in cooperation with the students, Szemző will explain his methods and understanding to the interactions of the simultaneous time layers within both music and film.

Tibor Szemzö was born in Budapest in 1955. In 1979 he founded the minimalist ensemble Group 180. It is concidered as a profoundly influential ensemble, renowned for its performances of Hungarian minimalism; it also performed works by John Cage and Steve Reich. Embarking on a solo career in 1983, Szemzö began integrating spoken word and visual elements into projects otherwise dominated by flute and live electronics, and in 1987 he issued his first solo recording, Snapshot from the Island. The downfall of Hungary's communist rule allowed him to began collaborating with various artists throughout Europe and beyond, and in 1998 Szemzö also formed a new chamber ensemble, the Gordian Knot. Other notable works include Ain't Nothing But a Little Bit of Music for Moving Pictures (the score to a collection of black-and-white home movies compiled by friend Péter Forgács), The Conscience (a trilogy of narrative-based chamber compositions) and Tractatus (a half-hour piece inspired by texts of Ludwig Wittgenstein). In recent years Szemzo's interest has increasingly turned to film as well. His award winning feature A Guest of Life (intermixing documentary footage, animation, and Super 8mm film stock) was shot in Tibet. Szemzo is working currently on his ongoing experimental film and installation series The Last Sight of Prague, researching locations in Central Europe, connected with the life and work of Franz Kafka.
