Filmmaker Robert
Bornn's latest release, Ocean's Edge – Spirit's Journey,
sets dramatic coastal images, evocative
abstracts, and natural ocean sounds
to original, improvisational duets
with Laura Worth. Their observation of
gratuitous violence in typical "savage
nature" documentaries has led them to
develop the alternative, nonviolent,
nature film series, Ebb and Flow. First in
that series, Ocean's Edge – Spirit's
Journey features seabirds as a metaphor
for the persistence and poignancy
of life. In it Robert weaves their six
instrumental ballads with his natural
visuals to create an exciting journey
through the eyes of a seabird.
Filmed on digital videotape at sunset, nature
provided all the vibrant colors
and visual "special effects."
For more than four decades Robert
Bornn has created a wide variety of films
and images. In 1968 his first
lyrical film, Mandarin Orange Matrix, was
screened at the historic Filmmakers
Cinematheque in New York City.
Robert and Laura (pictures
and bios) have also each been making music for
more than four decades. Prior to
developing their duo style, they built a
musical ensemble, DIAJ
(Drummers in a Jam), creating a new
African-Inspired, California-Grown
music. Robert produced their abum,
Pangaea: Old World, New Visions
on which their melodic and rhythmic
improvisations are featured with
lead vocalist, Ma Boukaka, the
Congolese-American entertainer and
teacher.
