High Wall, 1947 ***SPOILERS THROUGHOUT***

High Wall, 1947 ***SPOILERS THROUGHOUT***

I believe that this is from a magazine called Screen Stories.  There were changes made between this and the actual filming but it is pretty accurate.  The biggest change is that the title of the film was changed from The High Wall to High Wall, which I actually think works better.

Hannah Peel & Paraorchestra - The Unfolding - a modern classical suite with electronics; the winds in the orchestra are all woodwinds and the strings are cello and lower, creating a different and quite lovely sound profile

There are pieces of music that seek to tell us deeper stories. Others harness the talents of the players at their disposal in adventurous ways. Then there are the rare, generous works that make us think back to our roots as human beings and to our shared beginnings in the universe, that lift us in their melodies, rhythms and textures, that carry us with them. The Unfolding is all of these things. An extraordinary eight-part collaboration between composer Hannah Peel (Mercury Prize and Emmy nominee) and Paraorchestra, it was made over three years in precious morsels of time around a global pandemic. These circumstances – unexpected when the collaboration began – add weight to its explorations in sound about who we are, where we came from, and who we could all be. The Unfolding also explores Paraorchestra’s progressive idea of what an orchestra should be, mixing analogue, digital and assistive instruments with a unique ensemble of disabled and non-disabled musicians to make magic happen, and accessible to all. Conducted by Charles Hazlewood Vocals - Victoria Oruwari Vocals - Hannah Peel Alto Flute and Flute - Chloe Vincent Recorders - James Risdon Bb Clarinet - Guy Passey Bass Clarinet - Lloyd Coleman Bassoon - Linton Stephens Percussion - Harriet Riley Drums - Jonny Leitch Synths & Electronics - Hannah Peel Programming (track 2) - Kincaid Cello 1 -Tom Wraith Cello 2 - Hattie McCall Davies Double bass - Patrick Phillip The Unfolding was written and produced by Hannah Peel Orchestrated for Paraorchestra by Charlotte Harding Artwork by Barnbrook Track 2 written by Hannah Peel and Kincaid. Track 1 features words inspired by Robert Macfarlane's Underland

“The Noonan Building (a.k.a. Building 11) on San Francisco’s Pier 70 [was] quickly constructed in 1941 as a design and administrative headquarters for World War II shipbuilding (some of the doors still bear the original lettering: “Plans,” “Blueprints,” “Sales,” et cetera).

“Of course, in a place like San Francisco where vying for buildable land is practically a blood sport, outskirts never remain outskirts for long. In November, the city unanimously approved a 28-acre project devised by Forest City Realty Trust, whose notable San Francisco projects include a forthcoming SoMa mixed-use development and the LEED Gold-certified adaptive reuse of a historic Georgian Revival building in the Presidio, now high-end apartment rentals. The new project will introduce parks, affordable housing and new spaces for artists, retailers, and manufacturers on Pier 70. The rehabilitation of historic structures such as Building 12 (erstwhile used to fabricate steel plates for ships’ hulls) and Building 21 (once home to Risdon Iron Works, a manufacturer of Gold Rush-era mining equipment) is also part of the master plan.

Sadly, the Noonan won’t be among the structures spared, as vital as it is to the livelihoods of its 23 artists, what with its below-market rent and plenty of light and fresh air. “Basic human conditions,” says painter Robert Minervini, who landed at the Noonan five years ago after the hunt for a studio took him to either dank, windowless basements or beautiful but exorbitantly expensive loft-like spaces.

“We didn’t want ours to be another displaced artist community, so we lobbied to save the building,” says photographer David Magnusson, who moved into the Noonan in 1987 when rent payments were made with a cashier’s check at the request of Fred Noonan, who was presumably circumspect about the financial stability of artists.

“The Noonan artists, who participate in ArtSpan’s annual Open Studios, are in an odd kind of limbo, despite assurances that they will be grandfathered into a “state-of-the-art space in a new, permanently affordable waterfront arts facility,” says Jack Sylvan, senior vice president of Forest City.

With no official timeline for the start of the 28-acre project’s “Artist Transition Plan,” which includes a relocation to a temporary studio space, the Noonan tenants are understandably anxious, even wary.

“I won’t believe anything until the ink is dry on a new agreement,” says sculptor Mike Rothfeld, revealing the logic required of an academic director at the California College of the Arts, a post he’s held since January. “I have a natural skepticism about these things, just in case.””
