LOST AND FOUND

A collaboration between filmmaker Anna Geyer and Molina’s project “Transient”. Anna mixes original 16mm film loops on 3 modified projectors, while Molina creates a live soundtrack as he improvises and loops himself on various traditional, non-traditional, homemade instruments, found objects, and electronics. Performances took place at Somarts, The Performance Art Institute, Arc Gallery, Mission Cultural Center, and Asterisk Gallery, between 2010 to 2013.

The next video is from “Night Light”, a multimedia garden party at SOMARTS which took place April 27, 2012. 700 people attended this event which featured film, video, installation, music, performance art, light and sound sculptures! This version of Transient featured: Garrett La Fever on Memory Web, electronics and Bells; and Bethany Clemen on harp, bells, and vocals. I played electronics, guitar, broken autoharp, cello, drum, and did vocals.

We provided the live improvised soundtrack to the 16mm film loops of Anna Geyer, who mixed her loops live by hand, which were projected on the wall behind us. Mickey Tachibana’s frequency reactive video was projected on the floor and our bodies. Garrett and I also worked on the Memory Web a couple weeks before the show and added 12 more new strings (28 total), 4 bridges and 2 more tuning heads, and 4 new pipes. We used it in our set as well.
