Lucy, having got home this is either all Mirror or Mirror and a few other scenes – my mind is playing games!

Tarkovsky’s Mirror and Stalker have just gone to the top of my movie queue…

I try not to edit if possible, but, with the music being a certain length I occasionally edit to include the bits I want. I’m sure this is unedited – I may have split it and then cross faded it it acheive something. I think without checking as I’m at work this is from Tarkovsky’s Nostalghia, I think! I know parts of this were in colour so I converted the whole thing to black and white.

I have used his films a lot – If I am having trouble finding what I am looking for I know that he will not disappoint. I can be more specific once home if you want.

Thanks for looking, Lucy.

I’d love to know what movies the images these are from. Do you know? Do you edit any of it, or do you post it entire, as you find it?

Daryl, thank you for looking – how these go together is mostly chance. Sometimes it happens in 5 minutes and sometimes it takes days. I guess the biggest problem is finding footage that is saying something to me and seeing as I have never been a film watcher I have no points of reference. I just wander the back lanes of Youtube until I find something.

I guess they come out of my desire to share the music. I did another last night, but, didn’t feel it was appropriate to post another so soon. So, if you fancy seeing and listening to This Summer by Hayden I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks to all, you are the best.

Phil, sorry to be so late in getting my thanks to you for this. I’m always amazed by these films you make. One thing that always gets me is the uncanny syncopation of sound and motion. I could watch this opening shot of the man walking by a hundred times (and probably will), and the scenes with the children just shake me like a ragdoll.

Kozelek’s in all his guises remains constant – wonderful.

Rick, it is a beautiful album.

Deron, you are very kind.

M Sarki I love that you say it was hard to enjoy when you first bought it. Such are many of my favorites. I will look for April today.
