A.R.C.

Here's the concept: A concert. The Tied & Tickled Trio on a Friday in April. Different cameras, different focuses: portable and fixed ones, producing sharply resolved and coarse grained encoded pictures. Jazz, electronics, the intuition, coincidence, echo and the quotation -- all what the music and the mentality of the Tied & Tickled Trio stands for, all that can be traced within these pictures, filmed, arranged, alienated and clarified by Jörg Adolph and Anton Kaun. And still, references are nearby and wanted: references to the impressionistic way of filming of the early films on jazz, to the psychedelic weightlessness of Sun Ra, to the digital pictures of contemporary experimental film. The Tied & Tickled Trio features members of The Notwist, Lali Puna and Ms. John Soda. DVD features 60 minutes of live concert footage, plus hard-to-find videos. The bonus CD features music not previously made available on CD." DVD is NTSC format. The CD contains the studio version of A.R.C., 20 minutes long.
