In-Between
Label: Bandcamp
Release year: 2020
Performers: Electroacoustic
This is the soundtrack to "In-Between" an audio-visual collaboration between American composer Mark Gustavson, and Canadian media artist Chris Myhr.
The film explores themes of liminality; becoming/disappearing; organization/entropy; and aims to make sensible that which operates between polarities - the forces that make things whole, yet paradoxically multifaceted and fragmented.
