The Hafler Trio: Being the Elucidation of Why We Do Not Liberate Even the Smallest of Instances.
made for Zikzkira Physical Theatre dance, film and theatre work, projects that both materialised, did not materialise, and mutated far beyond their original impetus, tragically and otherwise. a horribly complicated and at times horrible story, the remnants here deserve an airing, even though their usage fades from memory as we speak; or in this case, don't. all previously unreleased in this form; parts used in soundtracks. re-compiled and edited to make a sort of sense of what was, and what might have been. the intensity is palpable. to say the least. includes PDF with images that are allowed, a story or two, as well as a video which formed part of the proposed DVD which will never happen. 5.1 surround versions of almost all this exist. over 1.5 hours of ear cinema, now, then.
"Sea Without Shore" was originally entitled "Nu Går Vi" and was a very different film; can be found floating around the internet, with much wonderous emptiness that the final version filled in, needlessly. the other project took place and is fragmentarily available without the participation or presence of YHN.
publicity blurb:
"The original music for Sea Without Shore was created by pioneering composer The Hafler Trio (aka Andrew McKenzie who has collaborated with Chris Watson of Cabaret Voltaire, Fluxus artist Willem de Ridder, Nurse With Wound, Autechre, Jónsi Birgisson of Sigur Rós, amongst others) using the cast’s sonic imprints for the creation of the soundtrack, which, in turn, was used on location.
The cast thus performed inside a cloak of their own sound, in pursuit of a visceral, emotional truth."
