Torse iii by Akira Miyoshi with visual media Pandora's Box by Sicily Seitz

Percussionist Hannah Moore performs Akira Miyoshi's Torse iii with visual media by Sicily Seitz entitled Pandora's Box.

Pandora’s Box, accompanied by Akira Miyoshi’s Torse iii, unpacks the beauty and subsequent destruction that the Earth has experienced since the arrival of human technology. Using found footage in the analog film format, the film functions in the four movements of Torse iii to depict the emergence of the natural world, the existence and prosperity of wildlife, the birth of technology and industry, and the inevitable downfall and destruction that came with it. All footage was obtained from the Internet Archive. (Notes by Sicily Seitz)
