    TRI-NIT-RON

Abstract montage created as a homage to Sony's shadow-mask video screens. It combines Amiga animations, video feedback loops and an audio track created by sampling DekTalk. Only a damaged VHS of the final edit exists but I have all the camera tapes so I plan to reconstruct it exactly as the original.

  Larger version of one of the smaller images below   Red One and Five

Rare candid footage from Den's Road Market, Dundee's extensive flea market. This piece was filmed mid-eighties when the market was at the height of its powers. It boasted a small bingo arena, where the callers 'sang' the numbers which form the soundtrack. The U-Matic camera tapes survive in amazing condition after 20 years of not being played. I'm in the process of creating an edit list from a damaged VHS in order to reassemble a viewable version.

  Larger version of one of the smaller images below   WORDFALL

Derived from separate uncompleted works, 'Wordfall' explored the crude manipulation of peoples basic instincts using verbal formulations. Badly damaged, and with much of the camera tape lost, this work is probably unrecoverable.

    Other Works

There are several other short video works which I will upload in the Restored Video section as they are recovered/restored.

I've also recovered many midi files from the soundtracks for these works which I hope to recover in time.
