"Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí (1852–1926) designed some of the world’s most astonishing buildings, interiors, and parks; Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara constructed some of the most aesthetically audacious films ever made. Here their artistry melds in a unique, enthralling cinematic experience. Less a documentary than a visual poem, Teshigahara’s Antonio Gaudí takes viewers on a tour of Gaudí’s truly spectacular architecture, including his massive, still-unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. With camera work as bold and sensual as the curves of his subject’s organic structures, Teshigahara immortalizes Gaudí on film." - Criterion

"Karl Fousek is an electronic sound composer and performer. For the past several years his work has focused exclusively on analogue voltage controlled modular synthesizers, culminating in 2014 with the release of his debut album on Relative Position of Figures on Danish imprint Phinery. With a slew of live performances continuing into 2015 he has sought to refine his musical language on stage. His work, has been compared to composers as diverse as Steve Reich, synthesis pioneer Morton Subotnick and contemporary synth performer Keith Fullerton Whitman. Fousek’s music “hits with the maturity of the modern modular greats” (Decoder Magazine); “A synthetic stroke of smartness” (Tiny Mix Tapes). He is currently based in Montreal."
