Nobuo Kubota At The Western Front

  • Nobuo Kubota At The Western Front

  • Artist: Nobuo Kubota
  • Year: 1991
  • Duration: 14:00
  • Country: Canada
  • This videotape is an improvised sound performance using voice and facial mime. Part I is an unedited performance. Part II is an edited version of another take. The editing is based on a system that gives to the in and out points of the base tape a sequential rhythm of expansion and contraction. The inserts which are selected from the same take also have a sequential rhythm of expansion and contraction but in a different time frame. The result is an interaction of two seperate rhythm patterns constantly moving toward, meeting, or moving away from each other. The work is influenced by Japanese opera, Koerean court music, jazz, scat and concrete poetry.
