Cue Boids

There is activation birdw0rkstudiowards. A couple of retroish-sounding tracks on the move and a couple more that were self-demoed last year that need a bit of rearrangement & a more juicy recording. The latter can be tricky - one loses that initial spark created during their birth sometimes. The re-creation is tighter, technically superior, but at that cost. More frivulous and fun moosak is being laid down for the blossoming Podaraazi project - hammering out a 16-bar loop for use as voice unders etc. makes for an excellent 2-3 hour distraction.

Recent flick views: Chronos from the Koyaanisqatsi et al. team is superb time lapse eye fillage. The incoming tide sequence from atop Mont St. Michel is just astounding. Kings & Queen needs an edit (2 1/2 hours stretches the character study attention a bit), works at times, falls flat at others - worth a view, not a keeper. Struggled through New Wave Italian classic Mamma Roma. Fellini did it better. The recent Bresson doc, the Impassioned Eye, is interesting, but not produced to my tastes. The bright spark that decided ropey voice over translations were better than subtitles needs slapping for a start. And these docs always suffer from the simple fact that just looking at photographs from the likes of Bresson will always be far more enguaging than any documentary on the photographer. A few interesting anecdotes here & there, but there could have been so much more about Bresson's life view, photographic method, & experiences around crucial historical events/periods.

Poor T. has her keyhole knee op. later today. Hopefully the resulting hobble will be quickly healed!
