Accordionist Ted Reichman steps out on his own in this moody, hypnotic portrait of one of the 20th Century’s greatest photographers, Andre Kertesz.

Ted Reichman – accordion; Okkyung Lee – cello; Roberto Rodriguez – percussion; Doug Wieselman – clarinet & guitar; Curtis Hasselbring – laptop & guitar.

“The camera is my tool through which I try to give a reason to everything and to every happening around me. Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel this rhythm is the ‘raison d’etre.’ The photo is a fixed moment of such a ‘raison d’etre’ which lives on in itself.”
- Andre Kertesz
