E-100 is a sound installation in which key samples of film dialogue culled from the films in the Essential 100 list are heard both clearly and obliquely in conjunction with a randomizer algorithm patched to various instrumental samples that include a vernacular of orchestral film sounds: swelling strings, a plaintive piano, upbeat pop music, etc. The samples interact in random variations over the duration of a cycle, interweaving dialogue, environmental sounds and instrumental accompaniment. This sonic tapestry of film references will allow audiences to experience cinema’s most significant moments outside the visual realm. E-100 will be presented in TIFF Bell Lightbox’s Cinema 5 from September 12 to October 3.
