Thick Air is a video work composed with noises, shots with dialogues, and video documentaries. In the work, an experimental music band is recording an album, searching for the special sounds for “thick air”. Hence, the audio engineer went through five different cities and countless frantic nights in search of this incomprehensible sound tirelessly. It is like a collage of noises inserted with memories and music of the pop music in the 1960s. The images of musicians and band performance or rehearsals include the Jazz musician Roscoe Mitchel, French punk band “Headwar”, and Thurston Moore of “Sonic Youth”. Nevertheless, the original sounds of these footages were removed, leaving nothing but the melody derived from the images themselves as well as the distinctive ambience – thick air.
