This is a video I made for the Renegade Lights #1 compilation. Renegade Lights is a music/video art collective, and I am one of the VJs who gets to play with this incredibly talented collection of musicians. The downloadable version of RL#1 includes videos by myself and CSTNG_SHDWS, and this is mine.
The music is by me. The video is based around “Techniques of Hand Sending”, a WWII era U.S. Army instructional film on morse code, which is now in the public domain. All other material was either created by me for the film or modified recordings of my live sets. Fun fact: This was edited on my older macbook, which was incapable of rendering more than 1 minute of effected footage at a time, so the entire thing was rendered in chunks and pieced together into a final. Which is the main reason there’s not more going on.
If you would like to hear more of my so-called music, I can be found on bandcamp under my musical project Autopoesis
You need some dark and spooky? I’m your man.
A few years ago, I did this audio piece for Halloween. It’s a creepy kind of loop thing. Meant to just be put on repeat, or mixed into your scary mix for the night. It fades into the background and makes you slightly uncomfortable, like that creepy guy sitting behind you who breathes at the wrong intervals.
So I’m releasing it again, so anyone who wants it can have it. Enjoy!
And the other reason I’m inspired to do this is…
Last night Nicole sent me this wonderful loop of growling burbling building stuff that she had made. I loved it, not least because it sounded to me like a buildup to a drumline that I could hear perfectly even though it wasn’t there yet. So I asked her if I could remix it. And, remix it I did. So, in a very short period of time we went from nothing, through two people, two computers, and two completely different creative processes, till in the wee hours of Halloween morning, it became this.
It’s not really “Halloweeny” per se, but in the spirit of the holiday tradition, here you go. 99% of the melody and tonal things are her, 99% of the beats are me. Have at.
