Grafica Harmolodica
Movie Information
Grafica Harmolodica mixes video, photography, sound, and chance to explore improvisation, abstraction, synchronicity, and surprise. Based on video shot by Olson of avant-garde musician and composer Ornette Coleman performing in Harmolodic Studio in 2003, the installation is less documentation of that performance than visual improvisation on musical ideas. Using six monitors, a wall projection, and large-scale prints, the installation presents graphic compositions created 20 years later when the video was remixed to the original performance soundtrack.
