Event information

PLEASE NOTE: This event starts at 2pm and finishes at 4pm

Lubomyr Melnyk is a Ukrainian pianist and composer credited with discovering ‘Continuous Music’, a technique involving unbroken, rapid streams of sustained notes, creating a full and ecstatic sound with rich overtones. This documentary film follows Lubomyr for three days, in and around his home in the Swedish countryside, reflecting on music, time, science, faith, poverty and interdimensional travel. The film will be followed by a Q&A with the director Stuart London, and a listening session comprising two of Melnyk's compositions.

"It's possible to draw a straight line between Melnyk's rhapsodic, ecstatic music and Chopin, Debussy, Satie, Charlemagne Palestine and American minimalist composition. Continuous Music is more than just a style though. For Melnyk it is a way of being. This documentary focuses on that being, Melnyk the man, rather than Melnyk's music. London, with great subtlety and sensitivity, constructs a portal into Melnyk's ontology, which at times borders on the absurd." - The Wire Magazine
