Sabine Groschup

Sabine Groschup’s experimental film about John Cage’s ORGAN2/ASLSP in the St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt, Germany documents in striking images and superb sound design the 639-year performance of Cage’s composition for organ that is attracting worldwide attention. As hommage to Cage Groschup allows chance to determine the course of her film about the musical work that is to be played ‘as slowly as possible’ (ASLSP = As SLow aS Possible). The so-called scene-drawing (chance operations) replaces the final edit and brings the existing cinematic material into a panoply of novel, randomly-sequenced arrangements.


Sabine Groschups Experimentalfilm zu John Cages ORGAN2/ASLSP in der St. Burchardi-Kirche im deutschen Halberstadt, dokumentiert die weltweit beachtete, 639 Jahre dauernde Aufführung von Cages gleichnamiger Komposition für Orgel in beeindruckenden Bildern und grandioser Tongestaltung. Als Hommage an Cage überläßt Groschup dabei dem Zufall den Ablauf ihres Films über das 'so langsam wie möglich' zu spielende Musikstück (ASLSP = As Slow aS Possible). Die Szenenziehung (chance operations) ersetzt den Schnitt und fügt das immer gleiche Filmmaterial in jeweils neue, zufällige Reihungen zusammen.
