Two Video experiments for the Live It Love It Film It commission 2010. Produced by PVA
MediaLab in Bridport and Dorset AONB.
In Electro Mountain a sequence of images shows a foggy landscape and
a tower; then the camera moves inside the tower and eventually depicts visual
score sheets. The imagery then goes on to show a barn floor and a musical stand,
before the screen goes black: from now on the music can be heard. Performed
by sheep. Inspired by novels such as Correction by Austrian writer
Thomas Bernhard, Electro Mountain is composed as a musical structure.
The beautiful foggy landscape of the South Dorset Ridgeway provides the ambience
for this atmospheric piece.
Filmed in Winterbourne Steepleton, Winterbourne was inspired by the beautiful setting of this village, with its stream running through. The camera focuses on the surface of the water stream and on the plants in the water. Structured into six segments, this work is not dissimilar to poetry and song: each segment begins with the same image / audio sequence and is followed by a threefold image sequence.
