Greg FoxIncarz (2006)

A film by Greg Fox.

Basically it's a series of clips taken with a handheld digicam without looking, often whilst driving (it's not as unsafe as it sounds). The clips were then blended using the very simplest of software until much of the film appears highly layered.
Towards the end there's some stills and GIF animations introduced to the mix and throughout there are intermittent spam readings and text-subtitles.

The music's part of my summer 2006 "Sine Wave Period" and is partly related to my 2-CD set "Carmen of the Spheres" as it models solar bodies in a similar way, but this time including some of the larger asteroids, etc.
Also it's less conceptual than "Carmen of the Spheres" and more musically unpredictable, less systematic. The readings are by me and all the stills and motion clips were taken by me in the town of March, Cambs, UK.

It's a lo-fi experimental movie and the clip is available in full here on the archive in WMV format. It's a long download so if you want a hard copy whilst I'm still alive, the support page is here:

It's £12 for the DVD via paypal and I'll post globally for nothing. The DVD will also be topped up with mp3s of my music, stored in the "audio_ts" directory, so that it'll play fine in any DVD player that can use PAL colour (that's most of them) (any region) and you can access all the bonus mp3s via your computer DVD-drive.

I would type a lot more information about the film but it's quite abstract. You'll have to watch it to find out. If you like layered, home-made film with avant-garde soundtracks and no discernable "plot" you might like this.

The music owes a lot to Xenakis, Gerald Barry, Aperghis, Stockhausen and Cage. The theory behind the piece owes a lot to Steven Pinker, Sue Blackmore and Daniel Dennett.
