tangled beams




angels in the chalk pits at bluewater, west kennet long barrow at dawn on the equinox, the underground city in montreal, touching rough concrete at the trellick tower at four, terminal five (at whichever time you desire), the haunted darkness at liverpool street as you enter platforms 11 to fourteen (plague pits underneath), holographic pogs pushed into your eye sockets til your vision turns red, southwold in winter, a friend dismantled by a train, hugs from your mum

Kuboaa Launch Party

In other news you should all check out this, a new magazine launching for which i've contributed some words and images. Namely my own words about my own film of people wanking and defecating in shopping malls and airports, regardez ca. My nan's a fan.

Salem Live


So i'm finally getting around to posting up some nice, grainy footage of Salem i shot on the tour with Becoming Real way back in November. This song was always a particularly beautiful moment each night. Salem is the sound of bad video compression. Or something.
Seems like fucking ages ago now but there's also some footage floating around of the visuals i did for that tour too - here and here if anyone's interested.
New BR video out in the next few days!

Porn in Outer Space

So here's a short film which i finished recently and have been sending to festivals called Porn in Outer Space. It's a found footage piece exploring auto-sexual reactions to various suburban non-spaces and tranzient zones.

Becoming Real feat. Trim video

Ok so here's the new Becoming Real video featuring Trim, a personal hero of mine, so this was a real honour to make. The word 'snuff' seems to keep coming up in response, which i can only take as the highest of praise. Currently working on visuals for the live show which are shaping up to be a lot more autumnal and delicate, with a hint of British tweed occultism. Needless to say - all very exciting.

Becoming Real - Jen's Clock Video


Here's the video i've just done for the new Becoming Real 12" forthcoming on RAMP at the end of the month. I'm pretty pleased with it.
It's compiled from various bits of found footage, taken from the stranger corners of the web - slowed down, filtered and coloured. Something that's become a bit of an obsession of mine over the past few months. Exploring London's parallel soft architecture through cheap flickering home videos, with only a handful of views. I feel like this is where all of those shimmering, splintered reflections - stored up in bus and train windows - finally drift off to at night. Bodies give way and turn into specters beneath the soft glow of street lamps and dank droning bins.

Also finished another longer project on a similar tip tentatively entitled 'in space' this week. Currently in the process of sending it to a few festivals but will post up soon. The Heathrow film marches on, more news on that soon too.
