Untitled Landscape, live video & sound performance by Wilfried Pulinckx (video), Jan Baeten (violin) and Yves Lambeens (guitar)

Fieldings is basically a project of Wilfried Pulinckx in which a live soundtrack is added to a movie with rather abstract images – These images are crafted from super 8-movies he shot and which were heavi(n)ly manipulated by colouring them in by hand and scratching the pellicule – The resulting footage is digitalised and recombined, during which certain scenes are obviously re-used a couple of times, but this procedure sure heightens the trance-like effect of this highly organic, very texture-like movie throughout which two shots were opposed to each other – I actually had the impression that the movie followed a circular course, kicking off and ending with the same altering images of postive/negative inverted landscapes. From what I heard this is a further reworking of the movie he showed some time ago at the Recyclart, which at that ocassion was presented as an abstract roadmovie. His fellow-musicians for this sequence were Jan Baeten and Yves Lambeens (Filip Gheysen [Glasvocht Records, myspace] participated with them at the Recyclart, but not on this occasion). The live soundtrack was pretty damned good: Jan Baeten produced screetching and feedbacking violin-sounds which supported an heavy repetitive guitardrone done by Yves, with probably some additional backgroundsounds that were added by Wilfried (more difficult to say as he was manning a loopstation and thus his sound was a tad more difficult to locate). The music was pounding, drony and moving towards a clear and unavoidable cresecendo, and then, as the last images were projected on the screen: silence. Tops!.
