The saxophonist and clarinetist Lea Bertucci recorded her forthcoming album, “Resonant Field,” in a decommissioned grain silo in Buffalo, N.Y. The slow, oozing sounds become an expression of the empty building’s own bereavement and mourning. Bertucci happened to make this recording during a partial solar eclipse in 2017; she then worked with the experimental filmmaker Bradley Eros to pair five minutes from “Warp & Weft,” a long track off the new album, with eclipse imagery. In this video, white circles flash above the blackened moon, adding an element of silent, peppery percussion to the drone. Toward the end, a pupil appears in the middle and the orb becomes something like an eye looking back — returning your gaze, just as the building speaks back to Bertucci in the track.
