In Short Scores, Eye on Sound playfully pushes at the boundaries of film music. We asked a new generation of musicians and composers to create new mini film scores to accompany a short piece of film of their choice from Eye’s collection. LazerGazer chose Fun on a Sand Hill (1899).

Hala Namer also known as LazerGazer. Born in Damascus, Based in Amsterdam, an artist, musician, and a dj.
Hala’s visual and audio practice evokes a wide range of energies and raw emotions, it’s an ambient emotional rollercoaster, and a myth stimulation.
At First the tensity between the staged moving image and the realness in the collective action lured me to the film.
My process is intuitive usually, for example I find an element and focus on it and build the sound with it and around it. I noticed a Boy, he reminded me a lot of the satellite character in the Kurdish film Turtles Can Fly by Bahman Ghobadi. I wanted to give that grip to it: the slow tension buildup and melancholic melodies that give Kurdish Cinema its special beauty.
Every three weeks, we will add a new clip accompanied by fresh new music to the Short Scores collection, which will therefore keep growing.
