7 Sounds
Initially, the two makers appear on screen and lead us in a collective moment of playful unity. After an introduction, the screen turns black (“This is cinema for the ears”) and listeners are encouraged to go outside. Sound is about the here and now, says Green, and being outside will give the performance a sense of intimacy and being in the moment.
In his distinctive, warm storytelling style, Green talks the listener through seven specific sounds, while Samson creates a live score. Among the people we meet are Tiffany Ng, who performs in bell towers around the world, and legendary composer John Cage. We find ourselves on a rooftop in Kolkata, spend a few moments at Louis Armstrong’s kitchen table, and eat a cheeseburger with Andy Warhol in this far-reaching ode to the invisible forces that surround us.
