Embedded Files
E(oe) is a film / music duet in which viola player Marie Takahashi improvises live while a real time edit of Yann les Jours’ film on European realities is screened.
For each performance Yann les Jours will screen an ever growing stock of footage, processed following the same visual rule : each frame is multiplied by 14, and sequences are slowed down. The director, who will perform in real time the editing, to create _ in dialogue with Marie Takahashi's improvisations _ a unique version of that film.
Marie Takahashi will discover the choice of footage at the same time as the audience.

about the premiere of E(oe) Live at OHM Club, Berlin, on 12 Jan. 2024 :
"Viola player MARIE TAKAHASHI, with a background in both baroque and contemporary music, improvises to a film by YANN LES JOURS, shown for the first time in public. The concept for E(oe) _ Europa (on empathy), a work in progress that takes on different forms at each screening, focuses on the idea of dissociation vs. association, the juxtaposition of people and places, relationships and contexts, which YANN LES JOURS captures and edits to mesmerising effect using a technique akin to slow-motion time-lapse. MARIE TAKAHASHI responds to the images in real-time, with a sound palette ranging from delicate to harsh. As an improvised acoustic audiovisual show, this unique collaboration was a first for Kookoo and for Ohm." in Digital in Berlin https://www.digitalinberlin.de/kookoo-marie-takahashi-yann-les-jours-echo-ho-yuko-kaseki-ohm/
