http://soundcloud.com/thisisparker/sigur-ros-saeglopur-800-slower Is absolutely stunning and even more moving than their music already is. Providing the soundtrack for this evening indeed. I love the fact that it sounds like they’ve got a whole orchestra behind them!

Scanner →

Scanner’s work looks very interesting and I’m sure I will find many things to relate to, especially in his soundscape/walks such as Surface Sounds, although I am made mightily jealous as he is far more musically adept! I shall have to look into this further! ( and learn an instrument!) The first part of Surface Sounds: http://www.scannerdot.com/mp3/scanners_mp3/part%201.mp3

Tutorial with Vicki Bennett

In my tutorial with Vicki Bennett we talked about several things regarding my practise at the moment, the first being the monologues based on my recorded conversations.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

Johnathan Meese

Meese was an artist that was brought up in discussion in the performance elective. While I have to admit I had not heard of him before, he seems to carry a message that I’m extremely interested in, especially while I’m in such a funny space with my practise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8fZsoS8p9c “Art is play. Total play. Total revolution. And all the people who play are...

““The cinema of Hollywood is a cinema of exclusion, reduction and denial, a...”

– We were scripting some characters the other day and found that were going into the tiniest of details that would never even be portrayed. My current pieces focus on characters that perhaps are only seen or heard for a few seconds, but for me, one line is all it needs to build up a whole profile of a...
