PAN SONIC
kuvaputki (cathode ray tube) by edward quist

Release Date: 31/03/2008

'kuvaputki', finnish for cathode ray tube, is the redux digital film of edward quist's 1999 documentary on pan sonic's dramatic 'round the world tour.' now in 2008, 'kuvaputki' remerges as a hyper-real abstract reflection of the years since last century. re-imagined and re-envisioned, the documentary core remains, but has been twisted and shaped in conjunction to pan sonic's improvisations taking on a new form and life. vainio and visnen are immersed in the imagery of the cathode which seems to live and infect their physicality over the course of three parallel films until they merge with their own sound and into quist's surreal and at times sinister vision. this is the first ever pansonic dvd. on blast first petite.
