Hi All,
I've finished editing a short video piece that I've been working on and off
with for a few months. It doesn't have a narrative so I guess it's an art movie
or something?
The soundtrack is an exploration of glitchy ticks and beats that constantly
tries to work in time with the edits but ends up opposing it. Too often we're
lead into the rhythm of a film by the music. I often wonder if this is a coping
mechanism for 'bad' editing rhythms? Anyway, this doesn't try to marry the two
so I guess creates a disharmony of sorts.
Enjoy, or as Warhol said to one of his brothers, when he threatened to come
watch one his his movies (i'm wildly paraphrasing here): Instead of watching
this, save your money and bang your head on a wall for five minutes.

"Filmed during the winter of 2009 at Hillfields Farm Coventry. It felt, walking
out into the snow, as though everything had been reduced to a homogenous mass,
inverted shadows laid across the landscape. The editing style explores the idea
of cutting up the frames and replaying/rearranging the sequences and finding a
rhythm at odds with the soundtrack. This dislocation of temporality and the
quick cut frames reflect the eye's random tracking movements, searching for
anything to land on within the mass of white.
The title, Aftung Derisive, menas nothing at all. I just liked to sound of it
and I'd been listening to a lot of German electronica when I created the
soundtrack."
