About Sounding the Space
Sounding the Space: Music For Architecture was released in November 2014 by Accretions and distributed in Japan by Uplift Jazz Record.
Filmmaker Hans Fjellestad follows percussionist Marcos Fernandes as he reconnects with his homeland by staging elaborate concerts in four historical buildings designed by his grandfather Uheiji Nagano (1867-1937) in Japan.
Filmed in Yokohama, Kyoto, Okayama and Matsue, the live performances feature Yumiko Tanaka, Seiichi Yamamoto, Carl Stone, Yuko Hirai, Hirokazu Morikawa, Masatoshi Utashima, Kouen Morishita, Kohichi Akada and Marcos Fernandes.
According to the Wire, “These assorted elements and shifting camera angles evoke multiple points of view – visually, sonically and conceptually – from which to witness encounters of tradition with innovation, West with East, the city with rural tranquility and art with the practices of everyday life. Beyond such concerns raised by Fernandes's personal reconnection with Japan, this film can be seen as a probe into the aesthetic relationship summed up in Goethe's contention (following Schelling) that architecture is frozen music, music is liquid architecture.”
