The sound source (the only sound source) for this was from a video that Patrick Carle sent to me yesterday. No text accompanied it, but I knew what he wanted me to do with it. Every sound you hear is a manipulation of Patrick running that walking stick (?) over a series of grates in the street.
The image source (aside from Patrick's original video at the end) was me slowly sweeping my phone camera across the floor as a subway came on my way to big band rehearsal yesterday.
Patrick has been contributing to my dailies going all the way back 13 years ago to the 2013 Daily project, only that one didn't include video like this one does.
The films that Pip Chodorov lays before us at his segments of the BISFF are a yearly pilgrimage for me. I learn so much and they are essential to my life now. I absolutely love experimental films and usually their sound tracks are equally brilliant and evolutionary. I feel that part of what draws me to do music is connected to experimental films as well.. more so than performing experimental music live.
I want to be an experimental filmmaker when I grow up. The problem is: I never will (grow up) and I have so much desire to jump in and do it that (right now) I only give myself one day per piece of music and video. It's a good way to learn, but it does put a cap on how "good" they are. (in my opinion anyway)
In any case, I'm not completely sure where I'm headed, but images are a part of it. Images and sound. So I love films. No big surprise there.
Tonight I'm going to watch a program of 3D films curated by my friend and colleague Alaric Hamacher. He is my favorite kind of maniac when it comes to the intersection of technology and art. He also happens to be one of THE authorities on stereoscopic filmmaking on the planet. I'm serious. I'll probably never actually make one bc who am I kidding? But one can dream.
