Music remixed by Scanner (UK)
Video by Olga Mink

Seville Fade was made for a soundtrack by London based musician Scanner. It was made with mobile phone recordings in the south of Spain. The imagery enhances a sense of voyeurism in a subtropical environment. A feeling of being abandoned, yet so close to someone, somewhere. It is about finding a connection, between that what surrounds us, but even more about the connection of the innerself.

Released on Strings of Counsciousness : Fantomastique Acoustica (CD - Off Rds)
It offers 4 instrumental compositions + their remixes by:
Rothko (UK - BiP_HOp/Trace/Bella Union/Lo)
Mira Calix (UK - Warp)
Kammerflimmer Kollektief (DE - Staubgold)
Gamial Trio (BE - Off)
Leafcutter John (UK - Staubgold/Planet Mu)
Scanner (UK - Bette/Sub Rosa...)
Marsen Jules (DE - Central Control Offices)
Sutekh (US - Context/Leaf/Soul Jazz/Mille Plateaux)
Si-cut.db (UK - BiP_HOp/Sprawl)

Every time I venture out with my camera I cannot help but be struck with natures awe ... even the simple things we walk past many times have a beauty if we just stop and look.

The footage for this film was taken over a period of an hour or so near where I live, again I'm using the JVC GZ-HD7 in manual mode and for the first time I'm trying out one or two shots with an ultra wide angle lens attachment outside its range to create a kind of dreamy quality, and I'm also working in tele macro mode on many shots too.

The more I work with this camera the more I realise the key is `creative control` and you can only do this in manual mode.

Music by my good friend Tony Cummings aka ActiveMinded - thanks bro! projectoverseer.biz/members/265/

FUTURE NOTES:
I will soon own the Sony EX1 ... hopefully HD at its best!
