Understory

Understory

Max Hammer, animation
Carlos Dominguez, music/sound

Synopsis: Secrets of life explained through the persistance of vision.

Drawing inspiration from insect swarms and fog, the music for Understory swells in and out of tonalities and microrhythms that accent the world around the animation's protagonist. Multiple delay lines create these clouds of sound using only two samples - a low E on an electric guitar and a Bb on a Cherokee flute - transposed and polyphonically layered.

Music composed by Carlos Dominguez accompanies a video of a ski run by Max Hammer. The music is composed of harmonica and accordion samples taken from a session of improvisation with Phillip Hermans. Special thanks to Jessica Thompson for letting us use her accordion.
