Project #10 - Film Still

The project is continuing to develop and the first showing is going to happen on the shortest day of the year. I am meeting with the owner of the building tomorrow to find out what I need to do to gain access over the weekend. I havent seen inside the hall yet and i am really looking forward to getting to know the space. The exterior of the building is covered with scaffold. I have worked progressively on the film and the sound this week. The film has a muted soundtrack which incorporates studio sounds and the sound of the stylus passing over several disks playing simultaneously and it is just possible to hear the tracks playing. 
I have been working on the sound and have decided to play it independenly to the film as a seperate piece. I have obtained a speaker which will have a diskman playing the noise I have made. I have overlapped about 18 tracks so far making an un believable stream of complex sound. Jane loaned me deck number 12 so at the last minute I have made my goal of twelve.
I have continued to paint records which will be displayed on the decks rotating at 33rpm.
The flyer is an A3 print on newsprint and I have made and delivered small invites also printed on newsprint.
I am considering painting on paper during the event live on very large paper surfaces. 
I now look forward to the weekend and the preview working on Saturday arranging the objects in the space and the opening at 10am Sunday.
