You Are The Sony Of My Life

The video piece “You Are The Sony Of My Life” is an amalgam of concise visual language tightly fused with the whimsical, flickering soundtrack by GCTTCATT. The piece starts with an image of a white plane, which subsequently becomes perforated with bursts of oblique linear elements. As the soundtrack moves on, these acoustically driven perforations merge into larger geometric shapes. In David Muth’s piece it seems to be the soundtrack that sculpts the image - by adding and removing visual material, filling certain image regions or dissecting the visual plane. In return, the film acts as a visual amplifier for the audio. (Text by Dietmar Offenhuber)
