Postcards From Glasgow's East End
Adinda van’t Klooster
This short video is a collaboration between artist Adinda van 't
Klooster and four musicians from the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra.
The music by Graeme Wilson (saxophone), Giles Lamb (keyboard), Neil
Davidson
(guitar) and George Lyle (bass) was created in response to a computer
generated visual score provided by the artist. Based on this musical
response Adinda van 't Klooster created new visuals. By contrasting desolate and economically deprived parts of Glasgow with
colourful backgrounds, this film questions the hypocritical notion of
the romantic view of economic deprivation which is only sustainable when
perceived from the outside. Made in 2005 in Glasgow
