If You Catch a Bird: Hover

"Cinnamon Sphere" mixed media trio come together with komungo virtuoso and composer Jin Hi Kim, whose performance on traditional and electric komungo and changgo (Korean 4th-century fretted
board zither and hour-glass shaped drum) sparks a musical and visual dialogue rich in shamanistic connotations, passionate bursts of ink on paper and hypnotic reverie. Peebles distills this studio performance into three distinct vignettes which capture the emotional exchanges of the group, up-close textures of ink and brush in motion and their transformation into three completed art works.

Produced and directed by Sarah Peebles, featuring "Cinnamon Sphere" mixed media trio:
