The film Social Landscapes by Jonas Meier presents itself as an exploration of the absurd, revealing dreamlike locations shot in slow-motion from all angles while comments – at times, totally deluded - about these places are read out, accompanied by slow, repetitive music (by Stefan Rusconi and Tobias Preisig). The contrast between these three elements is the lifeblood behind this aesthetically powerful work which critically reflects on how we perceive reality and on the fine line between (virtual) dreams and reality, with all its imperfections and paradoxes.
the film confronts viewers with the absurdity of modern-day humans who are increasingly cut off from reality. Continually moving between beautiful images of these locations and the paradoxes hiding behind the comments delivered off camera, the film shows how hard it is to appreciate the weaknesses and imperfections which make our world so unique and exciting.

That little 3 concert tour in Romania performing my solo album SOLACE was truly wonderful. The open hearted people and audiences I met were inspiring and so much fun. I’m thankful for everybody who came and celebrated live music with me despite the massiv snow in the south.
It was also such a big pleasure to tour as a package with Köln 75 - the amazing film by @idofluk the Köln Konzert.
A big thank you also to the one and only Bodgan Matei @purejazz_sessions who organized and planed every little detail of the tour and even travelled all the way through with me. I never felt lonely and lost - and for touring solo this is such a big support.
Here a recap in pics and vids
1. Bucharest just bevor the concert @pointarthub

@tobias_preisig found some old sparkling material from our LEVITATION recording Session 10 yrs ago at the Neo Gothic Church of Saint-Étienne in Cully, Switzerland. Thanks to @gini_breton_frvr @zubi7777_carinezuber @cullyjazz we were able to spend a week in this marvelous, charming church. Midnightsessions were the free spots to be kissed by spirits and elves. A week of diving deep into the sounds, breath and bones of this organ melting together with Tobias’ violin and the church’s natural reverb.
One day Béatrice Zurlinden came by and filmed with a old school camera (yes, that was back in the days a gigantic monster) and actually caught some amazing moments that landed on the record we released on Qilin Records 2016. And since everyone wants social media flashbacks into 2016 at the moment - here you go sweeties.

Am 24. Januar feiert ‘social landscapes’, der neue Film von Jonas Meier, in Solothurn @sofilmtage seine Weltpremiere.
@jonasmeierdel hat jahrelang an diesem Film gearbeitet. Immer wieder zog er los um weiteres Material zu finden, immer wieder war der Film dem Scheitern nah. Nun ist er da und stellt für mich mit seiner Wucht die grosse Frage - what is this?
@tobias_preisig und ich haben dazu mit Violine und Kirchenorgel einen 70 minütigen Soundtrack geschrieben. Es war eine wunderbare Zusammenarbeit mit endlosen gegenseitigen Inspirationsloops. Ich bin sehr stolz auf den Film.
Synopsis:
In einer Welt, in der wir Orte oft erst auf Bildschirmen erleben, bevor wir sie betreten, hinterfragt der Film die feinen Grenzen zwischen Wahrnehmung und Realität. Der Film setzt sich ausschliesslich aus Online-Reviews und Kommentaren zusammen – Stimmen, die gemeinsam ein facettenreiches Mosaik formen. Doch was bleibt von einem Ort, wenn Algorithmen unsere Erwartungen lenken? Eine Aufforderung, die eigene Sichtweise neu zu hinterfragen.
Der Film ist für den Prix de Soleure nominiert.
