J E T

Here is my latest clip featuring the sound of the Russian electronic music group Antropsy. It has an interesting origin; a circuitous cyber journey to its present form from birth in an obscure Japanese geeky website with interactive screen "games". On the Japanese site I found a virtual digital "etch-a-sketch" type of game where images could be drawn and manipulated using the cursor creating black & white and half tone digitized patterns and textures. As I drew the digitally textured surface on the screen, changing its lines and patterns, I saved image after image until completing the screen drawing. I later reconfigured them into a short stop-action animation that eventually became J E T through the application of multiple layers of effects. 


It is fitting that I would also find the fascinating sounds of Antropsy through another website in Germany linking me to hear them on a remote site for electronic musicians out of Moscow. I marvel at how the original code of the first drawn image not only holds up through the process, but evolves into a totally new and beautiful moving form not resembling its source at all. That this visual journey through time and space could be created by combining and transforming such distant and unlikely components is truly magic. The process and the experience are the story....there is no ending...
