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.

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/
