Ive been accepted to perform at BEAM festival!

(eeeek!)

Ive had a break through with seq designs , the new ones are actually depressingly similar to the very first attempt based around a rotary switch that I made many moons ago. Isnt that ironic? Alanis?!  Isnt it?! Hmmm?!?

Here are some variants Ive been through, none of which are going to be the final one.

I just found some 'bullet time' or 'time slice' or 'wizz-bang' video clips I made a couple of years ago. I made a blue screen tube with 24 little video cameras poking through little holes in the fabric...

mat riviere - evening drive

Evening drive video utilises the following ground breaking crapnology: strobing, video feedback, cardboard cut outs (by holly c), string, internet scavenged images, filming off a laptop screen, shakey pans and simulated vhs mixer edits.

who likes short shorts?

Some of my short films were shown at 42 new briggate gallery in Leeds. They kindly sent me some photos for my records / ego :





P.S. Ive just been informed they are going to also be shown on the BBC screen in Millennium Square in Leeds too. Thats nice that is.

goodbye animal friends!

There was a mysterious invasion of animal head people at the awesome recent BC party in Corsica Studios. They didnt say anything but you could tell by the way they were dancing that the sweet sounds of James Holden, Luke Abbott, Nathan Fake, Kieran Hebden, and Lone were pleasing to their animal ears.

In case you wondered what those crazy animal head people were doing in the woods in Lukes Whitebox Stereo video, heres the rest of the story...

mat rivideo fyhnished! (lol)

Here is the video for Fyh by Mat Rivere wot i just made. It had a love story between kittens in it originally but they were exiled to the cutting room floor as they looked stupid.

This video features my first attempt at Datamoshing, i thought i'd better get it out of my system before it stopped being cool. It is still cool isnt it?

The song is out on brainloverecords (dot com) and is from his eagerly anticipated album 'follow your heart', available from Jan 2010.
