New Video: Time

The Video

This stop-motion video was created using over 1200 photographs that were shot with a Nikon D60 and assembled into video using iMovie HD.  The fades to and from black were made (except for one segment) entirely using camera settings (as opposed to video effects).
Unlike a music video, the sound track was created to enhance the visual imagery and conceptual background,
not the other way around, and, as a result of that process, there is no clear audio composition or song structure.
The sounds were made using my ancient Casio SA-20 TONE BANK keyboard and my natural-born mouthbox (voice).

The Words

Time, Time, Alas you pass me,
Time Time, Alas you Linger.

Even Breathing congeals the present
Even Breathing nudges on
the line of time.

Incrimental moments…

Why must my lines of time
combine…

Why must my lines of time
combine with other lines,
finding and choosing and binding,
unwinding and losing…

We walk alone on stone
We walk, we talk,
We push the time by.

Time Time Time…

Time, Time, Alas you pass me,
Time Time, Alas you Linger.

Retrograde: A Stop Motion Animation

I made the sounds with harmonica, tin whistle, voice, and the secret ingredient, a low quality microphone with a narrow dynamic range.
