“Broken
projections” is a experimental visual expression for
electro-acoustic composition “Intersection” for magnetic
tape (1953-54), by Morton Feldman (1926-1987) - a composer for an
original soundtrack for the Jackson Pollock film, as a
contribution to the “Project for magnetic tape”,
initiated in 1952 by John Cage.
There
no concrete pitches are composed, rather Feldman notates in a system of
little squares solely the number of tones, which are to sound during a
certain period of time on section of tape. In the same illogical and
disjointed manner, visual images appear and disappear, creating an
impression of a broken projector or a broken film. In parallel, there
is an impression of the nature of our random thought processes and its
incoherent behavior sometimes.
