Free Radicals is a crossover project between music and film, developed jointly by Klangforum Wien and the film
laboratories of Amour Fou and Minotaurus Film Productions.
The program will include brief musical compositions and short films rarely heard or seen in standard concert or
cinema settings. By combining them, new rhythms, dramatic possibilities and interactions between sound and image
are made possible. The central theme of the project is a confrontation with the realities of human perception. The
music is broadened to a visual experience: to hear with the eyes, to see with the ears.
Possibly the most exciting moments of the program will be those in which film and composition encounter each
other directly. For Free Radicals, Klangforum Wien has commissioned three compositions to accompany Man Ray's
'Le retour à la raison' (The Return to Reason), the classic work of Dada-esque cinema, from composers Theo Verbey,
Misato Mochizuki and James Clarke. We are proposing the thesis that during these three performances, the public
will experience three different films.
