Video: Rosa Menkman
Music: Extraboy

The video-images are constructed out of nothing but the image created by feedback (I turned a high-end camera on a screen that was showing, in real time, what I was filming, creating a feedback loop). Then I glitched the video by changing its format and subsequently exporting it into animated gifs. I (minimalistically) edited the video in Quicktime. Then I sent the file to Extraboy, who composed music for the video. The composing process started with a hand held world radio. Extraboy scanned through frequencies and experimented with holding the radio in different parts of the room while touching different objects. Eventually he got the radio to oscillate noise in the tempo that he perceived in the video. The added synthesizer sounds were played live to further build on the non-digital sound and rhythm. This was later contrasted with drums which were digitally synthesized and processed through effects with a very digital sound to them. Just like with the video, the digital and analogue media and aesthetics of sound are mixed into one coherent whole.

    OMG!. I am inlove with this video. Seriously.... I've been messing around with Processing 1.0 thinking that was the way to do it. But in reality... it something like this that just makes me crazy excited to turn on the camera and turn off the coding and just go oldschool.

    Thank you for the inspiration!

    Very clever project.

    I had an accidental glitch show up in one of my videos video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2251203451927916312# between 1.27 and 1.31 I'm not sure how it happened.
