HOT ROD HOUSE [2006] BY OLSON KUNDIG ARCHITECTS IN SOME/THINGS CHAPTER005

SOME/THINGS CHAPTER005 features previously unpublished images of HOT ROD HOUSE— the home designed by TOM KUNDIG [of OLSON KUNDIG ARCHITECTS] and his wife Jeannie for themselves. Originally a turn of the century two storey bungalow in the then working class neighbourhood of Queene Anne in Seattle, it was purchased with the intention of eventually 'hot rodding' it— using the original foundations and structural walls to make continued renovations, changes, and additions. Since it's completion in 2006, HOT ROD HOUSE serves as an on-going research project.

MICHAEL NYMAN IN HIS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHED BY MONIKA BIELSKYTE

[...ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH WRITING FOR ANYONE’S FILMS IS THAT MY MUSIC, BECAUSE OF ITS PARTICULAR FORM AND STRUCTURING, HAS ONE KIND OF NARRATIVE. WITH GREENAWAY, EVEN THOUGH HIS NARRATIVES DON’T APPEAR TO BE THE SAME AS CONVENTIONAL HOLLYWOOD FILMS, THE FLOW OF THE DIALOGUE IS MUCH CLOSER TO HOLLYWOOD THAN IT IS TO THE INDEPENDENT FILMS THAT WE MADE TOGETHER BETWEEN 1976 AND 1982, FILMS LIKE THE FALLS AND VERTICAL FEATURES REMAKE, WHICH WERE VERY STRUCTURELESS NARRATIVES. I’VE ALWAYS FELT THAT MY MUSIC HAS SAT RATHER UNCOMFORTABLY WITH THE NARRATIVE FLOW OF A DRAMA THAT DEALS WITH THE INTERACTION BETWEEN HUMAN BEINGS. THERE’S ALWAYS A SENSE THAT HIS CONCEPTUAL NARRATIVE AND MY MUSICAL STRUCTURES DIDN’T MESH TOGETHER BUT THEY WORKED AS A COMBINATION OF MY MUSIC AND HIS IMAGES...]
