Electric Sheep Radio Returns!

Electric Sheep Radio

will be returning this Wednesday, November 10th at 11pm on CJSF 90.1fm with the flagship episode of season four! We've been madly processing dreams from our summer travels throughout the west coast and putting together a delightful spread of fresh, sumptuous dreams for your bemusement and delight.

Since we do not yet know how regular our broadcasts will be, I've created a mailing list that will notify you about our upcoming shows in advance. You can subscribe by clicking here. It would be at most two emails a month letting you know when we're broadcasting, and will probably be closer to one.

We will also, as per usual, be staying up all night and continuing to broadcast afterwards, with a new host of lovely guests to keep your ears pricked and your brain muddled. As always, feel free to contact us at any time with dreams, thoughts, kisses, or if you want to come on air with us. We love you.

Local Sightings

Hello.

We have returned from a three month bicycle odyssey throughout the pacific northwest to a rather pleasant discovery ->

"Sing Swan Song" will be screening in all of its 16mm glory on Capitol Hill in Seattle in the Northwest Film Forum's 'Local Sightings' film festival, taking place from October 1-6. "Sing Swan Song" will be a part of the experimental shorts program at 9pm on October 5th. 'Local Sightings' is a showcase of new filmic works from the pacific northwest, so it caps our travels off perfectly.

We hope very much to see you there!

Double Sheepisode / Exile

This coming Wednesday, June 2nd, Electric Sheep Radio will make its final broadcast of the season, after which a summer-long hiatus is in order. But instead of just one hour of the usual sumptuous dreams and total lack of commentary we're serving up our first double episode, with twice as much of just about everything that usually happens in our show.

On to the unusual: we shall also be staying on air all night after our double sheepisode and would like you to join us - either in person or in spirit - for one last Exile to end the year off right. We will be banging on drums, spinning vinyl, speaking in tongues, hunting lions, talking out of our asses, and possibly playing some of the brand new recordings from the forthcoming Split LP that R. T. White and Adam are hard at work on. We'd love company in the studio, so contact us and you will be welcomed up to CJSF for this last evening of mischief and delight! Otherwise just tune in to CJSF 90.1 fm on Wednesday night from 11pm to whatever ungodly hour we finally throw in the towel.

$5 at SFU Box Office or at the door

These are the last optical sync sound, table-edited 16mm student films to be produced at SFU, and quite possibly the last in Vancouver. Our latest film, "The Point at Which, The Place Where", will be screened! Definitely something for everyone, hope to see you there.

SFU 1st Year End of Year Screening

(Un)Project the (Un)Expected
22 Student 16mm Films,

April 15, 7pm to 930pm

in Images Theater at SFU Burnaby Campus

FREE or by donation

'Sing Swan Song' will premiere.

This is the last year to go through SFU film in the infamous portables on Burnaby campus, and may well be the last time this (or any) SFU class screens entirely on 16mm, so come and celebrate transience and all things analog with us on April 15!

Sing Swan Song

We've just completed a short 16mm film entitled "Sing Swan Song." It's an attempt to create a lucid film, heavily optical printed and composed of both color and b&w handprocessed and lab processed 16mm. Structured around a series of pre-recorded dreams, the images are culled from subconscious responses to imagery from these dreams and arranged in random combinations corresponding to the patterns of the pre-recorded dreams in the timeline of the soundtrack - essentially, we've attempted to create a structure that accommodates the free-flowing space of a dream. It's available on Ipod compatible video on this website (video because it desires multiple viewings, ipod because it's portable and shitty enough to necessitate a viewing on glorious 16mm). We will also be screening it as often as possible, so stay posted.

Pink Lemonade No. 3 / Smoke Signals

Pink Lemonade No. 3 arrived on our doorstep yesterday morning, much to our delight and surprise. My favorite installment thus far in Aaron Moran's steadily growing library of oozing corpuscles and stillborn anatomy, it is worth the time for the disgustingly stimulating exploration of nipples alone, and that is only the first entry. This is but one manifestation of his Smoke Signals publishing project, germinating and flowering right here in the unbearably fecund Lower Mainland, so check out the other projects at http://smokesignalspublishing.blogspot.com/

SFU First Year Screening

Oodles of short, 16mm films for your entertainment and delight!

Made by students in their first semester of their first year in the SFU film program. All-natural and additive-free!

Our new film "No More There" will be performed, so don't miss it.

It will happen on Friday, January 15th at SFU's Burnaby Campus in AQ 3154. Doors at 7:30, show at 7:45.

We've got a big space so bring your friends and family. :)

Free!
