100% of the proceeds will go to support IKLECTIK.

Composition 2017.05 (Undecided Metaphor) has a rarified texture with minimal content - and consists of four repeating sinewave-based elements that slowly proceed through the composition with glacial movement. There is no metaphor - allegory - associations - or personal references to anything other than to the composition itself - and that the composition stands within its own time and space. The reduced aesthetic and non-referential quality of the music is mirrored in the film (https://youtu.be/d8p85Z9pJW0) - with the filmic content consisting of two photographs of the Russian artist Marinesca walking in the Tate Modern - London. These black and white ghost images slowly move across the visual field - reflecting the glacial movement of the music. Time is brought to a partial stand-still - creating new perceptions and experiences.
