Documentary - Illuminated Silence - Izumi Kimura / Barry Guy / Gerry Hemingway

Making of 'Illuminated Silence'

When a pianist Izumi Kimura encountered the music of Barry Guy and Gerry Hemingway - two titans in the contemporary and improvised music scene - she was compelled to reach out and to invite them for a collaboration. Three musicians started their work on a bright, crisp day in February 2018, in Tyrone Guthrie Centre, Monaghan, Ireland. This is a documentation of their process, of finding it, on the subject of improvisation as a lifework.
