Akasha + Lo Super
Akasha + Lo Super
With their experiment to accompany live the projection of classic silent films, Akasha + lo Super explore the identity links that exist between sound, music and the moving image and study the importance of sound design in cinematographic art, along with other audiovisual experiences.
Akasha believes that music in cinema is the ghost that accompanies the moving images, the audible projected shadow or the sonorous canvas that is able to instantly communicate with the other elements of cinematographic language; like a voice-over that communicates with all the times and spaces in a film. It is an expressive and structural component that functions as an essential tool in the discourse.
The world of silent movies seduces and attracts them as they think it connects the spiritual with the material, the abstract with the concrete and takes them back in time, even to immortalise it. Among others, they have created sound pieces for Frau im Mond (1929), [Woman in the Moon] by Fritz Lang (La Casa Encendida, Madrid, 2001); Aelita (1924), by Yakov Protazanov (La Casa Encendida, Madrid, 2005, Visionica-08, performed at the Auditorio de Oviedo [Oviedo´s Auditorium] (and at Vasaros Terasa, Vilnius Lituania 2009); and La Coquille et le Clergyman(1927), [The Seashell and the Clergyman], directed by Germaine Dulac, based on a screenplay by Antonin Artaud (La Casa Encendida, Madrid, 2009 and La Tabacalera Madrid, 2010)
