520 "In a performance/creation, musician Bob Ostertag will
accompany on non-keyboard synthesizers while animator
Pierre Hébert simultaneously makes and projects a film.
Ostertag is well known for adapting, for live
improvisation, techniques formerly used only in electronic
music studios. A central figure in New York City's
"downtown" music scene, he has played frequently with Fred
Frith, John Zorn, Eugene Chadbourne and others. He has
performed on various electronic instruments throughout the
United States, Western Europe and the Soviet Union, and
toured with Anthony Braxton's Creative Music Orchestra.
His music has been described in the New York Times as "a
shifting, dappled patchwork of sounds that combine in
clusters, circle each other in a kind of wary
counterpoint...indescribable overlays that each seem to
carry a specific emotional weight." Award-winning animator
Pierre Hébert, of Montreal, experimented in the sixties
with the phenomenon of retinal persistance in such films
as Op Hop (1965); but he may be best known to PFA
audiences for more recent films including Memories of War
(1982) and Etienne and Sara (1984). Since the late
seventies Hébert has incorporated into his style the
technique of animation by scratching directly on film
stock, and in 1987 he began performing "live" animation--
scratching directly on 16mm film while the projector is
rolling--to the musical accompaniment of Jean Derome and
others. In 1989 he performed a live animation/music duet
with Fred Frith in Montreal."--BAMPFA program note, http:/
