The Oblique

Synopsis

The music, Blues in B-flat by Volker Heyn, performed by cellist Anton Lukoszevieze, provides the framework for 'The Oblique'. The title comes from an instruction in the score: ‘oblique down stroke’. In this film branches of magnolia extend into the empty cavity of the cello, the space where sound resonates.
