Shapeshifters Cinema - Sung Kim
Sung Kim is a sound artist, sculptor and instrument builder. Through his invented instruments, he explores variations on techniques, tonalities and sympathetic resonance, often in collaboration with other musicians in an improvisational context. In the fall of 2018, Kim temporarily lost the use of his dominant hand to a tablesaw accident. As a result, Kim focused his creative energies to explore stop-motion filmmaking. The films presented this evening are Kim’s first attempt at creating a narrative of both light and sound. The live, improvised soundtrack will be performed by Theo Padouvas (trumpet), Shanna Sordahl (invented instruments and cello), Brian Pedersen (reeds), and Sung Kim (invented instruments).
