In addition, Claudio and I will be giving a live performance in the bar area of the Belmont Picturehouse. This will include video projection and narration of a text by Claudio with live electronics from me. Further details to follow soon. Check out his website — his biog page reads like a Raymond Carver short story…but with a happy ending. Very cool. In the meantime, you can get further information about the event and book tickets here:.

Preparations for the next Orphans gig at The Belmont Picturehouse are slowly coming together. Following the call for new audio-visual works, there have been some amazing submissions. In addition, there will be several live performances in the bar area. There will also be new audio-visual installations running throughout the day and a wide range of some pretty decent grub care of E.

L the Chilli Bowl is highly recommended! There are still a couple of weeks left to submit your work. This time the event will be on a much larger scale.

More info on that soon. There will be live performances in the bar by flautist Richard Craig and myself, sound artist Pascal Battus , and other acts still to be confirmed, as well as a collection of audio-visual installations. But it manages much more than nods to history, the pleasures of found footage, or the ghosts of mechanical reproduction. Smithereens also invites us to spend time with several kinds of orphans.

A kind of visual score, if you will. Finally, as the original film was silent, patiently awaiting its improvised score, I realised that it would be necessary to add a soundtrack. He played bass in the rock group One God Universe , who recorded and released two self-financed albums and played regularly in and around Aberdeen.

He began making short films on digital video about ten years ago, some of which were used as projections at concerts by musicians Andy Smith and Patrick Keenan. Scott Lyon is based in the North East of Scotland, Scott Lyon has been a guitarist and songwriter in many local bands. He has been involved in music development projects throughout Aberdeen, and has also written songs and music for several youth theatre productions.

Electronic sounds and field recordings were used to suggest both the atmosphere of each scene and the emotional journey of the character as she moves through the film. One of my artist-heroes is the experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage.

Brackhage was well known for his thoughts on film standing on its own, without the necessary accompaniment of a sound track. At first I did make sound films, but I felt sound limited seeing so I gave it up. My films were complex enough and difficult enough to see without any distraction of the ear thinking.

The video was made completely from footage of another experimental filmmaker, subjecting his material similarly to the original, but using 21st century technology. To divulge more would perhaps spoil the fun, but for the curious there are small hints throughout the video of the source material.
