Walk Madeira: Boca da Corrida to Encumeada

Arguably the best mountain walk on the beautiful island of Madeira - the mesmerising peaks above and the lush valleys far down below. One not to miss. Watch out for paths that may or may not be closed, unless climbing 12ft high chain link fences is how you like to finish your day :)

Walk Film Two

The second myopic fusion of music and video. Sound and vision edited simultaneously so the structure of one drives the construction of the other.

preloading

Walk Film 1

A myopic experimental infusion of audio and video.. Normal editing practice dictates that video follows the audio or that the audio is written after the event to match the pictures. The advent of looped sample based music allows for another approach where both are assembled simultaneously. Here is the first experiment with that idea.

“Old Master” V1.0.2

An experiment with multiple exposures led to an image that resembled a somewhat abstract J.M.W. Turner painting. I was intrigued to see that it was almost impossible to understand the nature of the source material once enough layers are added into the composition - You glimpse vague details, but see nothing of the whole.

Bar●Code Morocco

Bar●Code Morocco came out of the desire to represent time as a single image. Each frame of the source video footage is processed into a single pixel line with consecutive frames being placed next to each other. As time progresses a representation of the movement and content of the underlying source video footage is built up along a horizontal axis.
