Bob Ostertag and Pierre Hébert

"Living Cinema" is the creation of Quebecois filmmaker Pierre Hébert and San Francisco composer Bob Ostertag . This innovative project brings the creation of cinema out of the movie and recording studios and on to the stage. Ostertag has created custom software that allows the two artists to actually perform an animated movie with soundtrack, live on stage. They will perform their newest work Special Forces , which premiered last May in Beirut and San Francisco. Like their earlier works, it incorporates events from the world news; in this case, it begins with the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Sonodendron is a fully immersive work that explores the sonic potentials of cello and electronics on both the microscopic and macroscopic scale. With a 5.1 Surround Sound score by Mem1 ( Laura Thomas-Merino , cello & M. Cera , electronics) and video by media artist Liora Belford , Sonodendron is a visceral tour through the bowels and ephemera of the cello.
