Wired Angel

Sam Wells' experimental/narrative feature film (based on the story of Joan of Arc) called Wired Angel was shown in August 2000 at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. The film features sound design by Fred Szymanski and a score by Joe Renzetti based on sampled Latin liturgical phrases sung by early music singers and children and some rather interesting use of string and percussion samples — all mixed by the filmmaker. Wells describes the work as "operatic." There is no sync dialog but lots of vocal texts, all processed by Fred in Kyma. The film was presented in 16mm but with DTS digital stereo sound, and the filmmaker was present for the showing.
