David Ryan’s film, Via di San Teodoro 8, explores Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi’s (1905-1988) house in the heart of Rome. It investigates different aspects of this house: its spaces, sounds and vistas, and its unique ambience opposite the ancient Roman Forum. It lies somewhere between experimental documentary and the filmic poetic essay, also portraying the early electronic instruments (Ondiolas) on which Scelsi composed and improvised in a rare performance by pianist Oscar Pizzo. Without any dialogue, the film attempts to capture something of the environment in which Scelsi composed his microtonal music, and unfolds to ‘house’ a performed improvisation within its architectural and filmic context. In this sense the film is a perfect prelude to the music and films of Phill Niblock, dealing as it does with both microtonal performance and the relationship of sound to space.
