| Filharmonia Śląska, Katowice, Poland |
On Friday, January 27th, CAA's celebrated visualisation of Darius Milhaud's ballet,
La création du monde was screened in Katowice, Poland, with live accompaniment by the musicians of the
Filharmonia Śląska.
Milosz Kula was their conductor, and in the grand surroundings of their concert hall, our sixteen minutes-or-so cascade of shape, colour and form illuminated the fascinated faces of a full house.
This is the sixth screening for our animation, which began life as a multi-participant speed paint challenge, in which the students, alumni and staff of Computer Animation Arts were invited to visualise Milhaud's jazz-inspired ballet as
a series of abstract digital paintings. CAA alumni
Tom Beg and
Jordan Buckner then worked with the resulting paintings, translating them into moving image. In common with previous screenings, the experience of watching the animation accompanied by the full bombast and beauty of a live orchestra was magical and transformative. Many thanks to Keith Burden of
Clever Projections, who ensures our screenings run smoothly.
La création du monde was screened in Katowice as part of the ONE is more programme: An
Orchestra Network for Europe – ONE - is a distinctive network of classical symphony orchestras initiated by Orchestre de Picardie in 2003. Since 2005, it has received support from the European Union under the Culture Programme for 4 cultural projects. Its successive periods of activity have been called ONE, ONE - a new dimension, ONE step further and from June 2011 to 2015 ONE goes places. In 2010, under the title ONE is more, it prepared an application under the Creative Europe programme of the EU. For this bid, the
University for the Creative Arts joined the partnership.
