![]() | Paul Glazier (NL/UK) - Flutter
During IAFF, Glazier will create unique soundscapes for cinema crowds at de Balie before each film projection and during intermissions. Born and raised in London, Paul Glazier attended Goldsmiths College of Fine Art from 1984 to 1987. Although even at this stage he was very involved with music it wasn't until he moved to Amsterdam in 1994 that sound began to take a more central role in his work. Initially creating sound environments for installations, his own and others', gradually the audio aspect grew in importance. In the last few years he has been investigating the relationship between sound and the moving image in his various videos but has also begun composing music independent from visual or contextual considerations. The selection played during the festival are his most recent explorations into the evocative possibilities of audio, collected on his album 'FLUTTER'. Composed from sounds varying from field recordings from Ladakh to sampled accordion Glazier uses sound in an identifiably painterly way to build up soundscapes of great transparency.
