Lost - Start somewhere

Where to begin?   

I've set this blog up to document as much of the process of making a film about memory as I can.  I've never written a blog before, let alone one about a research and production process so who knows how this will turn out.  To be honest it could be a disaster, but isn't that the whole point?  Expose the process, be accountable for ideas, but don't be too precious. 


I start with a picture of faces and this piece of music, part of a commission called Lost Objects composed by David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe which came onto the radio by complete chance while I was describing the idea of this project to my brother the other night.  



"Lost Objects is a musical exploration of the meaning of memory. With the spine of a baroque oratorio layered with the muscle of modern times, it is a powerful monument to the loss of people, things, rituals, ideas."



I'm glad Late Junction found it.
