Product Details


Product Description

"Alfredos Demise" was completed on 29 Dec 2023. Alfredo was a snowman built after a late spring snowstorm. The first half underscores time lapse footage of the rapidly melting snowman, syncing precise sforzando punctuations to moments of falling chunks. The sunset remains were gleefully decimated by our six-year-old James.

"Shuttle from Haneda" depicts a delayed return from a trip. The video elicited an atonal compositional style to underscore the hustle and chaos of a city as enormous as Tokyo, but with a lovely view of the Bay about midway through the work.

"Petite Wave" was composed to accompany a time lapse hanging of a three-panel canvas print of the woodcut art The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai in 1831. This art was featured on the cover of Claude Debussys La Mer when it was published in 1905, prompting a quote from La Mer.

"Fast Food to Fitness" aurally illustrates a pan of nine fast food ads on a sheet. The bottom ad ironically promotes BeFit 360.  The music has a series of exciting flourishes that morph into a sinister chord as the last ad dampens the caloric prospects.

"Pigeons" personifies a substantial flock of pigeons contentedly pecking at grass. I filmed while slowly approaching, occasionally causing a stir. The nervous flock took flight to find less threatening spot of ground to peck. The scene presented some fine opportunities for musical underscoring.

"Blue Snowman Group" accompanies a rare Tokyo storm that dumped inches of wet packing snow. When my ten-year-old started rolling the base of a snowman, I whipped out my cell phone and started a time lapse video. Mom came out and built her own, armed with a spray bottle of colored water. The two snowmen turned blue in the cold and lived happily together for a couple of days.

"Autumn Fuji Puzzle" undersores tightly crafted moments of puzzle-working and deconstruction.

"Outing in Japan" was crafted to highlight key moments of a time lapse, running errands in northwest Tokyo.  Many subtle and obvious moments in this work aurally augment visually stimulating moments, including blinking turn signals, passing traffic, turns, vehicle approaches, parking at destinations, and many more.
