CAN, 'Vitamin C' (on Ege Bamyasi)

btw, rig, very nice stuff. really like the section starting around 0:35 that becomes somewhat torso-like in its sinewy contortions.

i've barely gotten into it so far and i had to pause it to reply that this is an AWESOME song selection.

into your stuff now, and i'm really digging this a lot. WOW. gorgeous stuff.

do you do many exhibitions? do you ever need music composed for them? gotta ask; your stuff is too cool.

Hahaha.. awesome. Yeah, it's weird what people have seen, i sat with a few different groups of people at the private view, and there were tonnes of different sightings, warriors, horses, jesus, birds, flowers, war - it's kind of like inkposts that quacks use i guess.

Hahaha.. thanks dude, really. This is my first exhibition, i used to paint, mostly portraits like this one..

..but that was ten years or more ago and i've only just back into visual art again.


I'll be doing more though, there's one i'm starting negotiations for in the Uk, and i've been checking out a couple of places in NY to approach too. That'll be with this work and a few more similar pieces, there are four full-length films at the exhibit at the moment, although i've done around 30 of them so far.

I made a soundtrack for the exhibit based on the sound of the projector, so the speakers starte with the sound of the projector and then it gradually changed pitch and created harmonies with the fan noise behind the audience. It kind of worked, i'll spend more time on it next time.

I would be interested in using someone else's music or soundtrack though if you have some things of yours in mind. PM me if you like, be interesting to hear what you have. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll have to check that bit out, see if i can see it, it's really weird what some people see and others don't in these films.
