Uncovered States:
The Big Swing

"The Big Swing" contrasts three community events (a summer solstice 
parade, a farmer's market, and a klan rally) from three vastly different 
American cities (Seattle and Enumclaw, Washington, and Watertown, 
Wisconsin) with a goal of creating an artifact of childlike objectivity.  
Produced by an internationally known experimental composer and 
artist from Tacoma, Washington, Dan Senn explains that "I was curious

in-camera edited extraction of three public events from three significantly 
different areas of the country-one which would take full advantage of my 
skills as a music improvisor to, perhaps, capture the reality and true spirit 
of each event.  By juxtaposing these bits of "performed-reportage," I 
anticipated a interpolated message that went beyond personal bias... ."
This video documentary offers an intriguing perspective on 
contemporary life at the turn of the century through the 
eyes of an experimental artist."
