It’s just taken me three hours to edit together 16 minutes of audio for the film that I’m doing sound for at the moment. I have an obsessive need to colour-code my projects, so red signifies an actor fuck-up, gold signifies what I think is the best recording, and the rest are coloured so I can tell them apart. Plus it makes my project prettier to look at.

Man With a Movie Camera (via)

I saw this still from Man With a Movie Camera today in the book I’m reading; Ways of Seeing by John Berger and I like how it’s quite like the surimpression work that I’ve been doing with my slide projector recently, and it makes me think that I should perhaps play with perspective a bit more to create wonderful images like this.

Please watch this! It’s absolutely nuts, but at the same time infinitely brilliant.

There’s another video on the website which is equally as fantastic.

final major project idea

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:25:00 +0000

Also today I received a large amount of cassette tapes that are all to be used for my final year project at school. My idea is to create a sound archive that will ultimately be exhibited in cassette tape and mini-disc form and presented at the end of year degree show which will be at the Truman Brewery in London.

The idea - in a bit more depth - is to create an archive of sound that, let’s say a sound designer or sound artist would collect over their years of working in the industry. Recordings such as, but not limited to: foley work, field recordings, found sounds, ambiences, compositions, speech, acoustic instruments etc. These are a few of the ideas that I have at the moment for what I’m going to record, but this list is growing constantly and I’m hoping to have a substantial collection of recordings by the the show in June.

So as I’ve mentioned all the recordings will be catergorised and presented on cassette tapes and mini-discs which will be housed in boxes on shelves on one wall of the exhibition space. Next to the shelves will be a large-backed chair in which the audience member can listen to any recordings of their choice on the provided mini-disc or cassette deck.

The idea is influenced by many things, such as the huge archive that Stanley Kubrick left behind when he passed away, which consists of a huge amount of ephemera that he collected over his prolific career as a director, the total installation work of Ilya Kabakov and Lucas Samaras, and of course the urge that all men get to collect.

Well..I’d best get started.

Oh yeah, perhaps I should mention that I’m going to record over all those cassette tapes you can see below.. They wouldn’t be very useful otherwise.

Today I received a promo copy of Field Rotation’s new release Licht und Schatten from Fluid Radio.

What can I say? This really is a fantastic body of music full of blissful beats and wavering textures that progresses nicely through it’s 57 minutes. And with packaging that is so lovingly handmade this really is an essential purchase.
