Two more variations on a theme by Sam Renseiw




'Place' 5.7MB 36 secs



'Melodrama of the Unknown Woman' 9.7MB 43 secs

Two more, this time with music.
That for Place was performed on hand chimes &
shaker by a group of eight 4-5 year olds in a
West London school & minimally manipulated by me.
For Melodrama of the Unknown Woman it's the final measures
of the Dimitri Tiomkin score to D.O.A.
Sam's original Lumière can be found here

...and skateboarder




'...and skateboarder' 1MB 17 secs silent

Lumière - again derived from the recent piece by
Sam Renseiw
Another tip of the hat, I think, to Bas Jan Ader.

Nairtsedep, Sesroh, Tsilcyc




'Nairtsedep, Sesroh, Tsilcyc' 6.38MB 18 secs silent

And it is a Lumière - all the manipulation was in the QuickTime player controls,
then it was filmed from the screen.
The source is another Lumière, from the splendid eye of Sam Renseiw
So, it's simultaneously a homage to him & also in a small way, to Cornell.

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.
