You are being remembered
From www.oscarvandillen.com
You Are Being Remembered is a video installation by Clive Holden with music and soundscape by Oscar van Dillen.
Program notes to the audio
You Are Being Remembered is part of the Utopia Suite project, and reflects remembering things past, which is represented by the use of old arrangements and recordings by Leopold Stokowsky from the 1930's for the musical soundscape, while deliberately preserving their “scratched” character, thus creating a feeling of yearning.
This project is the first with the concept of simultaneous loops of different lengths. The twin screens here have different looping times of 24'11” and 22'30”, the music loops after exactly 20 minutes. The three loops gradually start diverging, just like memory gradually diverges from the actual reality in the past, both in time and content.
