Where did you get the footage?
I was trying to add some visuals to a couple simple recordings I got this weekend, but didn't really like any of the filler I have recorded.

I made all the visuals myself. It's something I love to do. I love pairing visuals and music.
I have a prism hosed in a turned-wood eyepiece that I got as a present when I was 16.
I held that right over the lens of an iPad camera and then passed the camera over a quilt
that my wife was working on to get some of the images.
I also have a sort of "hourglass" timer that, instead of being filled with sand, is filled with a magenta
liquid that gloops a bit like honey. That was part of a suite of gifts my sister sent to me for my
21st birthday. The message being: "You're 21 now, your time is running out!" The rest of the gifts she sent to
me were black (a black kazoo, black graphite sketching pencils, a bag of black "condolences" balloons).
The joke being that there is nothing to look forward to after you turn 21.
Anyhow. The liquid hourglass has a translucent bottom so I centered that directly over the camera
because the resulting footage feels like the liquid is slowly pulsing over your eyeballs.

Sounds interesting. I guess incorporating the entire soundtrack into a new piece
would have made for a pretty long piece.

Great stuff. Reminds me of things I saw in art school. Bits of Brakage and Len Lye. A lot of work on your part I am sure.
Makes me want to buy some black leader and get started. I do have a question though, how did you end up transferring it to digital? Did you use a lab or some sort of way at home. Really would love to see more of this.
The music was really nice at points it would really sync up with the image. Nice qualities overall in both, obviously you have had a bit of exposure to art stuff and it's really great you are pursuing it. Post more.
yeah!

I sorta used the whole soundtrack — I recorded it onto 3 C-60's, and then mixed in sounds from two cassette players with my other noodling. (So, in theory, it would make the piece different every time.)
Sounds in case you're curious: https://mechanicalforestsound.bandcamp. ... ion-part-1

Side note: I saw Region Centrale on the big screen a couple years back, which was a very trippy/mind-melt-y experience.

Now that I actually have a non-point&shoot digital camera I might try to transfer some stuff on my own.
To avoid parallax and to get the brightest, highest resolution image I was thinking of projecting onto a
pane of frosted glass and then having the camera on the other side of that. I guess I'll have to experiment.

Sounds like a digital remake of an optical printer. I used one of those in art school, it's nice because you can zoom in on parts of a frame, adding another layer of motion.
yes, I found some on eBay.
I will give it a whirl, slowly as I will still need to remember how to do it.
