Sonica Solveig Settemsdal & Kathy Hinde's Singularity

Randomness finds form in this new collaborative work from artist Solveig Settemsdal and musician Kathy Hinde. An isolated point of white light suspended in a void of darkness swells, expands and takes on ever more complex forms before collapsing in on itself and blooming once again into a completely new shape. Kathy Hinde’s music mimics this representation of a coalescing of all matter and all knowledge into a single point, grouping initially abstract sounds – from the violin and prepared toy pianos – into an increasingly organised soundtrack.

“The marriage of music and film here attained perfection in terms of both aesthetic continuity and elegance” 5against4 (UK)
