From Project [BLANK]: Join us for THE SALTY SERIES: our take-over of Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan, an experimental center for the arts, with concerts on the Third Friday of every month. Grab a drink, make a new friend, and feast your ears on the most savory experimental music in town. The Salty Series kicks off with a film screening of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 avant garde masterpiece, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, with live electronic score improvisation by sound artist JOE CANTRELL. According to Cantrell, "Alejandro Jodorowsky’s [work] is as visually striking as it is difficult – a journey that is unrelenting in its surreal maximalism. At times serene, grotesque, and comical, the sense of the uncanny never leaves the viewer. It is this focus on imagery that is intensely unusual that I find so fitting for a live performance setting. My intention is to use these fantastical images as a visual representation of noises and sounds, similar to a type of music notation called a graphical score. These scores use static pictures instead of notes to convey musical ideas. The images used are often abstract and unusual and open to a wide variety of interpretations by the musician. I feel the challenging and dazzling visual world that Jodorowsky paints is a fitting filmic analog to this graphical tradition, and one that promises to create impactful and memorable sonic and visual pairing."
