about

Music which captures the underlying relation between human beings and natural forests: Lifecutter presents his vision in the soundtrack for the short film and research-art installation Sub Persona.

Managing forests is not a subject of everyday conversations, seldom even theoretical thinkings. But for the art tandem PLATEAURESIDUE these topics are the core of their artistic and also research work in which they connect landscape ecology and new media like film and photography and later exhibit them in various gallery spaces.

For the project Sub Persona they invited Domen Učakar to accompany their visual work with the audio setting. Domen Učakar has been performing and publishing music under the moniker Lifecutter for more than six years now and Sub Persona is his fourth album and a second one (after Safe Place - 2016 with Iztok Klančar) which has been made with a tight connection to a strong visual work.

The music captures the relation between humans and forests, which are the condition for life existence on Earth and at the same time an important economic resource. The ambient sonic structures may at first seem to communicate a feeling at peace with the current situation, but as the unnamed compositions progress they unveil the sheer brutality, the suspense of the dead silence and the unseen freshness of life, which all constitute our fascination with the natural woods.

The project Sub Persona “focuses on the importance of forests, its ecosystemic, economic, recreational and cultural functions, which are too often taken for granted by humans” and Lifecutter manages to capture this focus in music in an elegant and unique way, in which he focuses on the more abstract and experimental sound with the modulation of guitar effects and field recordings.
