Jacobs, Ken
Celestial Subway Lines / Salvaging Noise [DVD]



Label: Tzadik
Country: USA

John Zorn has collaborated with Ken Jacobs, an improvising avant garde filmmaker, since the early 60's, and this DVD is taken from a series of performances at New York City's Anthology Film Archives in 2004. With Ikue Mori, Zorn creates an immense electro-acoustic soundscape over which Jacobs improvises. The disclaimer as the video starts is that epileptics should avoid watching this film, and it's a good bet that these films could trigger an attack. Jacob's main technique here is a form of micro-filming, focused closeup concentrations of various prepared subject which slowly shift and pan, and which are then treated with various video effects. The entire video is shown with a stroboscopic flashing, which sounds like it might be annoying, but is in fact mesmerizing and hypnotic. Through a combination of effects Jacobs invokes the illusion of motion on still objects, both alien landscapes and on seemingly photographic subjects. Generally it's difficult to say what you're looking at, but it's also hard to look away. Along with the amazing soundtrack (which deserves a CD release of its own!) this is some of the most psychedelic video work I've ever seen.
