Projects

Things ticking along always with the big dealine looming and so much more to do. I am starting to work on sound today and have decided that it would be great to make a soundtrack for the film just to take it to the next level. I think its important to combine the sound and vision into one piece. Im looking at a stack of tv's and speakers on trolleys, the film will simultaneously show on the tv's and the sound will be quietly amplified. I would like to paint the trolleys.
The deck stack is having lights ... I have organised for possible strip or led lights to be shining from inside each deck in the stack. An electrician is doing the work for me so should be very interesting to see then illuminated ... two things the different coloured plastic of the lids and the turning records inside should have an impact on the colour of the light.
Painted disks coming along well nearly finished the second one now, the increasing heat in the studio has caused problems with materials think Im going to have to use oils for the last two.

Whens the deadline Rowan? the layered sounds like layered paint sound interesting. What happens when you run out of turntables to paint on? do you have loads of disks with paint on them? Do they have a stacked presence somewhere? Or are they part of a transporting plan. are you them off somewhere? Did I pick up somewhere that there was a transport thing going on?"all modernity is vehicular and exchange based" Bourriaud.

It's raining here. no work will be done on painting Mum's house today. But my brother has arrived. He's about to transport me to the plant shop. Oh well. there goes my quiet day at home catching up with reading and stuff! Hope the paint is drying well there Rowan. AE

Deadline is January 16. Layers of sound multi track layering digital a kind of postproduction. Layers of paint underlayers exposed.
The turntables have a painted record each and they were made specifically for each deck. This time they are being displayed in a stack however previously they have been in circular formats.
They are transportable and translateable and can be easily packaged and sent.
