World Music: Lim Geong, "View"
(Taiwan) Although Lim Geong’s work is pure electronica, and he has said he gets inspiration from Japanese and German experimental music, he remains a very recognizably Asian composer - if not purely Taiwanese - and the motifs have a familiar pentatonic quality. To reflect this, the video presents us with images of tradition and modernity: new facades under construction are juxtaposed with tumble-down storefronts and palatial doorways, and fashion ads with Chinese art. All the while a scroll of caligraphy slides under and over these images, almost signifying the accelerating passage of time.
