Lyndsy Welgos, an experimental video student at Atlanta College of Art, has made a strong and simple Quicktime piece called Before All Parting which uses my 1998 track 'A White Oriental Flower' as its soundtrack. The set, Lyndsy explains, is "composed of a Faustian-style writer's studio with various books of western and eastern thought. For instance, a book on Zen calligraphy next to a book concerning Bernini. In this circular installation the viewer is invited to walk around the piece. The center is a white orchid placed on the absent writer's desk. As the song starts (your song) a warm yellow light encircles the desk, as the song progresses the light becomes smaller and smaller. As this happens, the light also becomes whiter and whiter, a metaphor for thought refinement and purity." Watch the video.

Meanwhile, enjoy the first fruits of the Sound Garden! Some delicious sound squashes, pumpkins and gourds are now being squeezed through our portal. Chew on the oishi squelches and squeaks created by a bobbing docked fishing boat chafing yellow floats against bulbous black rubber tires.

Date: 2005-01-25 10:04 pm (UTC)Lovely sounds!
BTW, do you know where I can get a copy of Philosophy of Momus? Lent my 3 fave cds to someone and I can't remember who. (Also deeply missing David Toop & Max Eastley, Ocean of Sound. Don't know where the hell to get this one from, but if you ever come across it, have a listen - it's extraordinary, and relevant to your current project, as it's a shimmering mix of wind, stone, sand, zithers, bottles, found and experimental instruments [which might be disgusting to hear, but is astounding] put together by two UK avant-garde composers).
Anyway, any help with Philosophy... (or Ocean, though that would probably be far harder to find...) would be much appreciated. Cheers.
not Ocean...

Date: 2005-01-26 02:46 am (UTC)if you haven't seen it, i could scan it & e-mail it to you.
but the whole magazine is really worth getting anyway...
it is probably easier to get hold of in Japan than in New Zealand too.

Do you have any audio record of your porridge on MP3?
