Shades Of Meaning (1986)

Overview

A poetic meditation on music and meaning in cinema. Aurally iconographic music fragments have been decomposed, then re-composed into loops and patterns, and combined with eclectically chosen imagery shot mostly in the western United States. The result is both a reflection of the artistÕs sensibilities and a commentary on commercial media values. At once a celebration of visual beauty and a semiological investigation into how musical codes and imagery combine to create meaning, Shades Of Meaning has been called paradoxical, mystical and elegant, pregnant with multiple meanings and a powerful tool for reflection.
