Two Old Films
'Il Ritorno di Ulisse in Patria' 180MB 3:37 mins
'Quartet' 221MB 5:11 mins
Two films from 2008 I never posted here before, both
constructed from footage taken on train journeys on
a single January day in that year.
Il Ritorno di Ulisse in Patria was made for the Pocket
Films Festival 2008 and shown, to my delight, in the
various cinemas of the Centre Pompidou.
Quartet was an unsuccessful submission for the same festival.
Both pieces were shot on a wonderfully smeary cheap
mp4 recorder,and both - especially Il Ritorno -
manipulated more than somewhat thereafter.
Both have original scores.

In the Hamptons
'In the Hamptons' 30MB 1:14 min silent
Images from the Coopers Beach Cam, Southampton.
In the Spring of 2003 I started making tiny QuickTime movies, as a kind of moving image dream diary.
This quickly became a major focus of my work & I have made at least two or three every month since.
In 2006 I arranged them in their current, semi-chronological, format (everything from April 2003 - Dec 2005
appears in the first four months of 2006).
All the movies, new & old, still live in the
same folder & can be accessed from there too.
You may freely download & remix any of them, though I would appreciate a credit.
Where credits are due to others for material I have appropriated or remixed, or for
performances, I will include a note with the posts here.
All music, except where otherwise stated, is by me.
I hope you like the movies, though of course I will continue to make & post them whether you do or not (but my thanks for looking!).
If you're interested enough you can read more about them here,
here,
here
& here.
