Stations

STATIONS: A Video project using text, poetry and music.

Concept:

A short video communicating the places I have lived in my life.

Autobiography, passing of time, poetic record.

Film: drawing the key words from the poem in ink on a roll of absorbent paper. Slowly unrolling the paper to draw each new key word. Use Pentel re-fillable ink brushes.

Audio: The poem 'Stations: The Places I Have Lived' is pre-recorded. Listen to poem on iPod headphones whilst drawing.

Location: Woodend Mill corridor. It has long corrugated metal sheeting down the corridors. The sense of time receding. Relocated to studio and outside view of roofs.

Music: My improvised composition 'A Still in the Wind' 4mins 23sec.

Method:

Compose music. Edit in Garageband. Create MP3 & AIFF

Rewrite old poem 'Stations: The Places I Have Lived'

Record poem on M-Audio digital recorder. Edit in Garageband.
