The energy of the Pacific Northwest
with an evocative, improvisational
piano medley, the Discovery Suite,
by Robert Bornn

Colorful visuals celebrate the lyrical, spiritual, and sensuous sides of
nature on Vashon-Maury Island in Washington State.

Filmmaker Robert Bornn's movie, Here and Now: Vashon-Maury Island on DVD, is the second digital video film in his Ebb and Flow lyrical nature series.  Ebb and Flow has an unconventional view of nature in three artistic, narrative-free, and nonviolent movies. Here and Now sets evocative natural waterscapes and landscapes to Discovery Suite, his original, improvisational piano medley.  Robert’s artistic perspective shows nature in ethereal abstracts and enchanted naturalism.  Filmed throughout 2005, Here and Now gently touches on the varied energy of each season while evoking the timeless theme of cosmic unity.

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.  In 2004 he released Ocean’s Edge-Spirit’s Journey, a  narrative-free natural look at the Mendocino, California Coast and its bird culture.  Original music was provided by his partner, Laura Worth on recorder and Robert on Xylimba and drums (pictures and bios).

Robert has been making original music on a variety of instruments since the 60’s. He has also created duets with Laura as SoundMoments Duo.  Previously they built the musical ensemble, DIAJ (Drummers in a Jam), creating a new, African-Inspired, improvisational music.  Robert produced their album, Pangaea: Old World, New Visionson which their melodic and rhythmic expressions are featured with lead vocalist, Ma Boukaka, the Congolese-American entertainer and teacher.
