Manufacturing Entertainment are pleased to announce perdere: to lose, to waste, to destroy will be part of the Dobra Festival in Brazil, and will also be viewable online between Sept 25 and October 2nd.

Program: Myths And Rites Of Passage In Another World

This program brings together films that investigate the contemporary landscape through the mark of the cataclysms and imbalances of a planet in transition. Films that experiment with different approaches and multiple paths regarding language, that make us imagine other ways of perceiving the landscapes of our inner worlds in the face of social impacts.

The VIII DOBRA will take place between September 22nd to 24th at Cinemateca do MAM, with free entry. After the end of the in-person activities, the festival will have an online continuation, from September 25th to October 2nd.

Tops

TOPS (working title) is a new project of mine, conceived of as an electro-mechanical sculptural sound composition and performance tool comprised of 40 modified tin harmonic tops, each controlled via a set of linked Arduino microcontrollers.

This project was recently funded by the BC Arts Council and is currently in production. I expect to have a prototype completed in the next few months.

If you are interested in showing TOPS in your gallery or booking a performance, please contact me via the email in the ABOUT section

When Once There Was (Ongoing)

Watch the video: http://www.emmahendrix.com/sound-design/#/manufacturing-entertainment/

There is a different audio only version on Soundcloud

There is a nine minute single shot determined by the currents of the Peace River under threat by BC Hydro and the SiteC dam project. Sound sources were recorded on location and in the depths of a hydro dam.

If the dam is completed this entire area, Indigenous burial and ceremonial land, and fertile farmland will be under water.

What you see here is not the final outcome of the artwork. There is a single shot version, and a performance rehearsal version.

Both Sides Now
Nov

to Jan 8

Both Sides Now

Both Sides Now is an interactive video installation by Julie Gendron that is currently in development. I am creating complex layers of sound that will be triggered by audience members' presence, specific to one of two videos. The layers need to be interesting in their own right, but must also be able to work compositionally with every sound element in either video, triggered at random times.

The piece is about each individual’s struggle with inevitable change–inertia–accompanied with the ongoing internal discomfort displayed through hopeless and awkward control mechanisms.
