After Dürer is a new film by Daniel Belton about maths and music, combining alchemy with choreography in an on-screen exploration of Albrecht Dürer's famous print 'Melencolia'.Martin Lodge of Waikato University Music Department initiated the project, and scored the cello parts as played by James Tennant. These sound phrases were mixed and restructured in post production along with all the visual editing by Daniel Belton. The concept and choreography for the film was developed by Daniel with Donnine Harrison, Peter Belton, and Martin Lodge. Digital artist Jac Grenfell brought to life the complex Polyhedron (or Geometric Body), which is the centre piece of the engraving.

In modern terms melancholia is associated with gloominess - but the real interpretation was that in Dürer's time a melancholic was a person given to excessive thinking. So a melancholic was an introspective or reflective person. Dürer said all artists were therefore melancholics. With black and white (tone) Dürer could make us feel colour - this was his genius" Peter Belton"If this shape was discovered by Dürer himself, then the possibility arises that the odd shaped block and its magic square are not just two iconographical elements, amongst many others, but perhaps even the raison d'etre of the whole work. Its very strangeness would justify its being used as the subject of a picture; and if Dürer wanted to use it, but not to betray its source, then the block and the square would have to be set amongst many symbolic objects, all relating to geometry and its practical use, so that the connection between the two would be obscured. This would mean, in effect, that Melencolia and all her attendant iconography would now be seen as a vehicle for the illustration of a discovery, a vehicle so erudite in its symbolism that it has intrigued scholars for years." Terence Lynch The film After Dürer is also a journey of discovery. Through choreography and dance, geometry, animation, music and film, this work offers a contemporary search into the heart of Dürer's mysterious engraving 'Melencolia I'. [ More Detail ]
This clip is from a bike safety video. I edited the film so that the clip used contains mostly scenes of a kid riding his bike through the suburbs. I used pizzicato cello and violin, tuba for bass, glockenspiel and vibraphone that I ran through a distortion unit to give it a light overdriven feel. I was trying to generate a piece of music that is fairly emotionally neutral but still had some underlying creepiness that you just can't put your finger on (much like the suburbs them selves).
