Nadelarbeit III [Needle work III]
February 2017
The visual music film Nadelarbeit III [Needle work III] was completed in the 2016/17 winter semester as Magdalena Treutwein's final project in the upper-level Visual Music module, and supervised by Marcus Schmickler, assistant professor of Composition, and me at the Institute For Music And Media.
The images in Nadelarbeit III [Needle work III] were created by scratching the surface of old Super8 films with a large needle. For the sound, the scratched film was dubbed frame by frame, the noises being made with the same needle. The images are played through a projector, while the sound is digital. This additional sounds of the rattling projector are part of the audiovisual concept.
