The source movie is from the Library of Congress
American Memory site
& was originally made at Edison's Black Maria studio in West Orange,
New Jersey, in 1897.
The music is Verdi's Ah Che La Morte Ognora from
Il Trovatore sung by Antonio Vargas, probably in 1902. It was found on the
University of California, Santa Barbara's Cylinder Preservation and Digitisation Project.
Time spent at either of these sites is time not wasted...
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.
