A documentary by Peter Taussig on the staging of an unusual musical composition entirely based on the movement of the planets. Brian Roche generated his music from the Ephemeris, a book listing the daily positions of the planets, and then staged the work, with dancers representing the planets, in an abandoned ruin.
Beautiful work, man! Brian continues to make me THINK, to this day -- and often feel way too much! -- now that I can finally be PRESENT for this stuff. What a magnificent mind, and soul. This was all cutting-edge stuff back then. Still is!
