One Roll in the Blackness
3 minutes, 16mm, b&w, 2011
“Heads thrash and dissolve in photodynamic nods of light as the guitar shreds a thick noisy pitch-black.
Time, space, and sonic waves are distorted through the trajectory that is motion. Evanescence is everything.
Featuring Keiji Haino.” – Amelia Ishmael
Keiji Haino, live in Toronto, June 22, 2011.
