British artist Robin Rimbaud, also known as Scanner, was invited by the Harry Smith Archives to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth by performing live scores to a selection of his films including: Mahagonny, Friends of Harry Smith (Jordan Belson, Robert Frank, Jonas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg, etc.), Early Abstractions, and Heaven & Earth Magic. For this event, Scanner performed a live soundtrack to Smith’s Early Abstractions (1946–57) and Untitled Seminole Patchwork (1965–66) films. The show was presented by ACCA, CINECITY & Spirit of Gravity. Thanks to Laura, Tony and Geoff in Brighton for helping to make this interview happen.
