Poetry in the Darkness: LST #3
By Tamara Izko
Rabih Beaini
LiveSoundtracks is an audiovisual and multidisciplinary festival bringing together film and music through performances, exhibitions and workshops. The organizers aim to establish a fresh perspective on the relation between these two arts.
Launched in January and running monthly through May at Hiroshima, LST’s Poetry In the Darkness series sees five international artists working in experimental electronic music perform alongside video art and live cinema. This month they showcase the rhythms of Lebanese-born producer and DJ Rabih Beaini, label head at Morphine Records. Beaini’s dark electronic beats will accompany experimental film by French visual artist Vincent Moon.
Additionally, each month audiences will have the chance to take part in training sessions on how to create a soundtrack themselves. An innovative transversal proposal in the field of music and film, Poetry In the Darkness is a unique event, either to sit back and enjoy, or to take part in and become a creator yourself.
