Signals - Okkyung Lee - a film by Rebecca Salvadori

Rebecca Salvadori's film traces Okkyung Lee's composition 'Signals' with Explore Ensemble, in which Lee blurs the boundaries between live performance and electroacoustic illusion. In this UK premiere presented at Huddersfield Town Hall for the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Okkyung Lee and Explore Ensemble perform Lee's work in-the-round, with the audience and loudspeaker surrounding them. Salvadori's film captures both the performance and preparations, showing glimpses into the creative process, Lee's distinctive compositional and performance practice and personality, and the musicianship of each Explore Ensemble member. Signals was originally commissioned by Explore Ensemble, and co-commissioned by Transit Festival, @hcmfuk , and Rainy Days / Philharmonie Luxembourg.
