I CARE IF YOU LISTEN: Video Premiere: Molly Joyce Performs Form and Flee
“Today’s Four/Ten Media video premiere features composer-performer Molly Joyce performing Form and Flee from her upcoming album Breaking and Entering.
Breaking and Entering marks Joyce’s debut full-length album on New Amsterdam Records’ digital-only Windmill Series. The album features all electro-acoustic works written and performed by Joyce on her electric vintage toy organ. The unique design of this instrument provides a wealth of creative possibilities that accommodate her left hand, which is impaired from a car accident in her childhood, and the album as a whole explores this intersection of disability and creative practice.
Here’s what Molly had to say about Form and Flee:
Form and Flee grapples with the moment of physical sensation and movement leaving one’s body. I wished to ask where that sensation and movement go and how the relationship with one’s body changes thereafter. Through collaboration with Evan Chapman and Kevin Eikenberg of Four/Ten Media, we filmed in black and white with intimate and detailed views of the physically-different hands and them interacting with light in order to emphasize such, as well as emphasis on a grey color scheme as the in-between of black and white, and thus the in-between of immobile and mobile.”
