Song: Opaque Drum Solo by Solace from the album Ahsas:

This film is a little bit of an experiment - what would happen if I gave myself 1 week to film, $50 and made the very first thing that popped into my head, no matter how ridiculous the idea, trying to go with the flow, being productive rather than procrastinating, and not over thinking anything (having previously felt constrained through creating a poem in a very strict style, this was a way of trying to clear out the cobwebs).

The result is difficult to explain and quite stream of conscioussness like. It loosely represents how humans are tied to the mechanics of time. We can relive the past through memories, or imagine the future, but our physical bodies cannot stop being a part of the process of time, evolutionary time etc

Update to the attribution list at the end of this film, unfortunately I had missed a couple: Animania and BP Voyager. Apologies for that. Also, if anyone sees anything in any of my films and wants to know where to purchase it (if I haven't created it), please send me an IM and I'll send you a landmark. Thanks

This Valley in August 2009 will be a natural set of shooting of an italian short movie called "Elogio alla Solitudine" with the support of RAI CINEMA.

Music: "Central Park" by James Newton Howard.

Foreigner of up there
In the song of the reeds
You rebound and digress
You take me in your waves

The Surface like a curtain
My skin as a coat
You slip out of clear blades
Into my upside sky

The head out of water
My memory which takes water
Try to see it clearly
The head in the airs
