… Progressive music organizations continually seek not just new music to perform, but also novel ways to package and present it. So it was that Houston's Musiqa performed “The Moving Image” Saturday night at the MATCH. The five works in the program demonstrated different approaches to integrating music with film. … “Steelworks” went the found-footage route, matching Anna Clyne's industrious score with Luke DuBois' split-screen vintage footage of Brooklyn's last steelworks factory, percussive sounds from the film augmenting the vibraphone's busy obbligato underneath the woodwind melody.
