Filmed April 12, 2003 at a benefit concert held at and for The Anthology Film Archives, the international center for the preservation, study, and exhibition of avant-garde and independent cinema. In addition to screening films for the public, AFA houses a film museum, research library and art gallery. The event, which raised money for the Archives and celebrated the life and work of avant-garde film maker Stan Brakhage, featured Sonic Youth providing an improvised instrumental collaboration with silent Brakhage’s films. The band performed with drummer/percussionist Tim Barnes (Essex Green, Jukeboxer, Silver Jews). Recently a GoFundMe has been setup for Tim to help with unexpected medical expense if you are able to contribute: SYR 6 Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisiminimui Album Available: Bandcamp: Official US Store: Official EU Store: Part of the proceeds of this recording will again benefit the Anthology Film Archives: As well was other charities including: Filmed by Marc Masters Color Correction: Raul Zahir DeLeon This work is not the result of any collaboration with Stan Brakhage. This is a document of an improvised music performance, drawing on Stan's work for inspiration. The ensemble performed with various short Brakhage films screening behind them, but were not intent on creating a “Brakhage soundtrack“ or a “potential Brakhage soundtrack.“ Connect with Sonic Youth: #sonicyouth #brakhage
