Rhys Chatham: An Angel Moves Too Fast To See

About This Movie

So, 'Rhys Chatham: An Angel Moves Too Fast To See' is a pretty fascinating piece, you know? It's not just a performance; it’s really an experience. Shot in Palermo, you have this massive ensemble of 100 guitars which is striking in its own right. The atmosphere is almost meditative, with the sound taking over the space in a way that’s both chaotic and harmonious at the same time. The pacing flows with the music, shifting from dense layers to something more minimal. I think what stands out is the sheer scale and ambition of it all—watching the musicians sync up creates a kind of visual tapestry that's hard to find elsewhere. The film feels personal, capturing not just the music but the essence of the performance.

Unique document of live performance art.Focuses on the synergy of sound and visual space.Interesting exploration of musical abstraction.
