New Old Project #1




I'm making a little movie about Clarrice, and
returning to a skill almost forgotten - editing sound.

Many lifetimes ago, I worked in the fitness industry. 
I made the music everyone jumped up and down to.
 I taught others how to jump up and down.
This was back when we had dial up internet
 and analogue tapes.
I mixed vinyl the old fashioned way - on turn tables 
and butchered it edited it later 
on state of the art digital programmes like Sound Tools.

Now you can download it free. 
I've always been a sound geek, and, like the circle of life, 
sound geeking has returned.


I'm documenting nearly 50 years of relationship
between Clarrice
 and fellow textile artist David.



 You remember Clarrice,
 she makes extroadinary tapesties on 
fly screen wire she calls, "window wire".
 They met when she was 16.



 He looks out for Clarrice 
like a giant Labrador, one eye always on her.

My inner geek is satisfied.
 
 The little docco will be part of the Marrickville Councils
 festival featuring residents over 55 and their stories.


I'm glued to a computer screen and loving
 every minute of cutting and pasting video and audio.
 It's alot like collage. 
That is new/old project #1.
Stand by for new/old #2.

  8. this "sounds" awesome.

    you carry that rhythm with your writing style,
    of knowing a beat, knowing how to teach us to rise up
    and down, and find the joy

    etc.

  14. Gosh, editing sounds very complicated but I'm sure your film will be utterly fascinating when finished.
    Clarrice really is the most amazing artist.
