i spent most of january in sri lanka collecting field recordings on tape, minidisc and video. i also decided to take the opportunity to make a short film/homage/reinterpretation of the music of 80’s supergroup duran duran. the resulting film was made on the historic landmark of sigiriya, where the group originally filmed some of the video to save a prayer. it can be seen on youtube and also on the video page

film of the degree show

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:07:43 +0000

after plenty editing of sounds and film stuff i have finished a short film of the piece that i made for the degree show – have a look on the video page
i made it partly for my own amusement but also to include on some applications to try and get the piece displayed in other galleries and exhibitions, rather than having it taking up space at home
if you are interested in exhibiting the piece in your gallery or….in buying it….please to be getting in touch
