This project started as collection of sound collages combining improvisational music, samples (of things as diverse as marching bands, subway preachers and birds) and spoken word from obscure (often instructional) films. But, over the course of two years the project morphed into a series of fifteen videos featuring layers of manipulated vintage footage. Aleatoric (chance) composition methods were often implemented to create a dense base of sound and imagery that was then refined using subtractive means. The barrage of sights and sounds are meant to simulate dreams or hallucinations. The viewer becomes lost in a disorienting, abstract world of altered reality, twisted nostalgia and obscured memories.


Influences include: the original Willie Wonka movie’s tunnel boat ride, John Cage, Salvador Dali, David Lynch, Matmos, The Beatles “Revolution No. 9”, Amon Tobin, Negativeland, Musique Concrete, Man Ray, and many others.


Also, could you (or someone) replace the screenshot on the Currents website page about me with the one attached? The one up now is so bland looking.
