Artist Statement:

cNote is an exuberant creative synthesis of picture and sound, ani­mation and music. Filmmaker Chris Hinton stretches his formidable animation skills in this work, where the dynamic movement of his visual art dances in syncopation with the bold musical strokes of an original composition. This music was created expressly for cNote, as a creative counterweight for Hinton to work against and with. In this animated pas de deux, Hinton and Montreal-based composer Michael Oesterle leap back and forth between picture and sound, building, tearing down, and rebuilding until the film exists only as an integrated and unified “one.” A film without words.
