Ascension Sessions - mystic, wild, live videos from Bird By Snow (IFC exclusive premiere)

Here is a link to the IFC premiere page... and here are the videos, in their words "Grab hold of your chakras we're heading into the spirit world."


October 16th 2010, Fletcher Tucker, Spencer Owen, Rob Little, and Noël Vietor, hike to a remote and mystic oak grove three miles above the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, California. Here Fletcher and Noël build a hanging sculpture which is to become the focal point of a live performance by Bird By Snow (Fletcher, Spencer, Rob). Fog fills the sacred space and erases the already distant outside world. Video shot by Noël on a Japanese toy camera. Concept by Fletcher & Noël. Editing by Fletcher. Ceramic chimes (at the bottom of the sculpture) made by Stephen Tucker. Costumes dyed by Noël, using California native plants harvested from the very trail that leads to this performance site.
