Small Room Tango
1 year ago
Small Room tango is an experiment in videomusical technique using nothing but the synchronous sounds and images captured in a piano practice room.
Intended merely as a proof of concept of some ideas I had back in the winter of 2003, this piece went on to be featured in the Best of Optronica, Best of Cologne OFF and numerous other short film and video festivals. It was finally published on DVD by Raum für Projektion in 2007 as part of Loop Pool On Ice, commissioned by the 53rd International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.
Special thanks to my producer, cousin and camera man Cory Choy.
"Anyone who has attempted this kind of video-sampling-
whilst-letting-the-audio-determine-the-structure will know just how extremely bloody difficult & fiddly it all is. Hats off big time, then, to Gabriel Shalom, who not only makes it look natural & easy but even squeezes poetry from it."

Thumbs up
I composed/edited on Sony Vegas. Its great because it was an audio editor before they added video to it in a later version. As far as I can tell its has the most robust built-in audio capabilities of all the popular video editors. Before I started editing video I was making electronic music for 4 years using a music program called Acid Pro which has almost the same interface as Vegas...
Thanks a bunch!
