Transfiguration
'Transfiguration' 1.4MB 9 sec loop silent
‘Emotion stirs within and forms into words. As the
words are inadequate, one sighs them. As the sighing
is inadequate, one sings aloud. As the singing is
inadequate, without knowing it, the hands start to
dance, and the feet to beat in time.’
Wei Hung, from the Major Preface to the Shih Ching
Made with stills from my old cell phone & its
rather splendid onboard image editor.

LiveFeed back #3
'LiveFeed back #3' 8.8MB 41 sec loop
Details as 25th March.
The music to this is generative.
On each forward pass of the palindrome loop it will be different.
Each backward pass is silent.
Might stutter a bit occasionally but so do I.
Third & last of these , I think.

Cherry Blossom Loop
'Cherry Blossom Loop' 1.4MB 6 sec loop silent
Are poems written on such themes as 'Going to view the cherry blossoms
only to find they had scattered' or 'On being prevented from visiting the blossoms'
inferior to those on 'Seeing the blossoms'?
People commonly regret that the cherry blossoms scatter or that the moon
sinks in the sky and this is natural; but only an exceptionally insensitive
person would say, 'This branch and that branch have lost their blossoms.
There is nothing worth seeing now.'
Kenko, "Essays in Idleness," translated by Donald Keene.

Film
'Film' 1.6MB 17 sec loop silent
It's prelinger archive footage of 1920s London.
First I made a virtual 'film strip'
then I made a virtual 'projector' for this in Director.
I exported it all to QuickTime & Bob's your uncle.

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.
