About Project

This project is based on my doctoral research into the work of composer-performer Teiji Ito (1935-1982). He worked with many well-known experimental filmmakers including Maya Deren and Marie Menken, alongside scoring many theatre and dance productions in New York between the mid-to-late 50’s and the early 80’s.  As the main technique he used in his film soundtracks was the overdubbing multiple layers of sound (all performed by himself), I would like to realize this show in the same manner as an extrapolation of his working process.
