Descore
features 15 specially commissioned digital shorts by Melbourne filmmakers
- 7 live action directors and 8 animators. These filmmakers have been
teamed with 15 composers to explore innovative approaches to composing
music for film. Involving eclectic instrumentation, electronic processing
and advanced studio post-production, the 15 shorts provide an audiovisual
experience to audiences seeking something different in film music.
All
the digital shorts are mixed in Dolby Digital 5.1 - some enhanced
by live score accompaniment. Descore premiered at
ACMI’s
large Cinema 2 with digital projection over two nights (July 5th & September
16th, 2004)
Descore combines
accessible digital filmmaking technology with bold and audacious
experimentation in sound-image fusion. It has been curated and produced
by Philip Brophy, and is funded by Arts Victoria (Music For The Future)
with support from ACMI & Sound Punch Records.
