Tom Cora

Tom Cora for the creation of a sound track to Dziga Vertov’s, “The Man with the Movie Camera.” In this particular piece, Cora plays the cello using a STEIM-built controller, while his feet are engaged in live editing and reconstruction of the material. Samples of the created sounds are sped up, slowed down, frozen in “stills,” collaged in various modulations, recalled for flashbacks, reversed and re-edited on the run to create this unique composition. The audio CD is expected to be released by Tellus in 1997.
