  This pre-production photo for the set team of Melodia  shows two framed prints. The photographer has dropped keys on the floor to indicate scale. The details are from Beethoven Frieze  by Gustav Klimt, designed in 1902 for the Secession Building in Vienna. One print shows an angelic chorus singing ‘Ode to Joy.’ Another shows the composer embracing a female figure; a representation the world, she returns the embrace. In the short film the prints appear mounted on the wall of the title character’s apartment. It is characteristic that Mel surrounds herself with creature comforts but that nothing—except perhaps the piano itself—is extravagant in price. She has plants and books and framed prints.

Congratulations to Chung Hua Weng (翁重華), musical voice of ‘Melodia: a short film in rondo form.’ ‘Melodia’ is an official selection of the 13th Buenos Aires International Film Festival starting next week. Professor Weng’s performance in the soundtrack has been awarded top honours by the festival jury. Over 120 countries are represented in BUEIFF events. Festival planners describe cinema as ‘a magic tool that speaks a universal language, which allows the ability to unite people from all over the world in an instant. Art, in all its forms, crosses any border, culture, society, ethnicity, or religion. Art is what most identifies us as human beings and what gives us humanity.’ Professor Weng recorded the music for ‘Melodia’ at Platinum Studio Taipei (白金錄音室). Recording, editing, and remix were by audio engineers Timmy Ju (朱品豪) and Min-Hsiang Chang (張閔翔) working with music advisor Alton Thompson (唐博敦) and studio supervisor Micky Yang (楊敏奇). Sound designer Tzu-Xiang Chen (陳子翔) and recordist C...
