A kind of ‘remix’ of a film my friend Matt Brownsword made quite time ago. When I first saw it I found the images beautiful, surreal and slightly unnerving - they seemed to me like strange beings from space, or the unconscious, so I exaggerated that more. Shot on an old VHS camera at Brighton’s Sealife Center.
Another remix of a previous film, to really draw out and emphasise the underlying mood that was slightly lost on the first film. Made with a soundtrack made using a free software demo - I wanted to challenge myself to create the music and sound within very tight limits. For more information see the description of the original Spaceman film below. I’ve been emailing NASA to get hold of some other footage for an installation project, but they haven’t got back to me yet.
Excellent grainy found-footage film from the 40’s or 50’s showing swirling dancers and party hats. Part of the Three of a Kind collection of films that use old film, dancing (of sorts), and spoken word, together with music and sound design. Shown as mini cinema installation at the Phoenix Gallery last November. There was some other great footage at the start of people in funny hats doing the Hokey Cokey, which I didn’t want to cut, but couldn’t get any music to work with it. I will post the missing footage sometime though as someone may recognize their dad.
Shot on film by Gary Barber on Marine Parade (Brighton seafront), during some kind of biker run/speed trial event. It’s Jack Kerouac speaking. Part of the Three of a Kind group of films. Shown at various cinemas and festivals including Junk TV nights, at the Abbevile French Film Festival and the Curzon Cinema, Soho.
Film editing and music by myself, using Super 8 footage my dad shot over 30 years ago, when we visited Cape Canaveral Space Center. I’ve been working at turning my Dad’s footage into a number of shorts, as he filmed all our holidays in America in the 70’s. I now have a bit of a thing for space flight - have you seen the amazing NASA video archives?
Sound for an animation that demos a game invented by Michael Seal (a work in progress). For more information about the game, go to the Axiom website. I saw the Michael the other day and he presented me with an excellent looking finished version of the game - it’s now available from his website - click on the above link.
Beautiful shots of dancers with the camera weaving around them. An emotive film shot by Gary Barber on grainy 16mm film. Gary took the piano music from a score I wrote for a commission for South East Arts: We were commissioned to create a music and film piece celebrating 500 years of St Mary De Haura church in Shoreham. The commission worked really well on the night, when I performed the music live with full choir inside the beautiful church in front of the film projection. Waltz is now the first film in the Three of a Kind installation/film series.
Excerpt from a video installation depicting the birth and death of a star. An art gallery installation by Russell Webb, Maze Artist. I’m sort of part of the Maze artists group, based at the Phoenix Arts Center in Brighton. Exhibited in Brighton and London galleries. The crackling and explosive noise is actually the real sound that the universe makes when picked up through radio microphones.
A sound and piano score for a really outstanding and beautiful time lapse film by Tim Ebbs, featuring skies, sunsets and the sea, that took over a year and a half to shoot. Shown at events in Brighton, London and Japan.
Music for short film by Kate Aidley. Part of Digital Shorts. Commissioned by the Film Council and Lighthouse. Shown at various film festivals including Abbeville, France.
