Festival En El Barrio Viejo

Here's a little experimental video I made from footage I shot last weekend at this incredible and fun outdoor music event in downtown Tucson, The Festival En El Barrio Viejo. A benefit for Tucson community radio station KXCI, the festival featured Calexico, along with this band, Sergio Mendoza y La Orkesta, as well as several other Tucson acts.


For this video I was named winner of last weekend's Vimeo Weekend Project contest and awarded a free Vimeo Plus account.

The clip features a voicemail left for me 8 years ago by a friend who was arranging a music gig for me in Portland, as well as lots of twiddly video processing using Apple Motion to auto-scrub and auto-blend footage in sync with different frequencies and peaks in both audio tracks.

In this 3rd installment of my News On The Line "Transition in the Borderlands" series, San Diego electropop artist Jeffrey "Mono Mono" Beringer talks about the border wall, cross-cultural love, and his hopes for change in the future.

Live From Autopoesis

implications-MPEG-4 800Kbps.mp4

This is a short excerpt from a live performance I presented at a multi-media event calledAutopoesis last June (under the name Charismatic Megafauna, one of my many stage names). The set was about 30 minutes and featured a collage of sound and video source material that I was manipulating and mixing in real time. I've finally got round to looking at the tapes and clipping out a bit of it for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

2012

vanishtwins-MPEG-4 800Kbps.mp4

At the Tucson Roller Derby 2 weeks ago this band, Vanish Twin, played at halftime. They totally rawked and were pretty fun to film. I particularly like this song, about 2012, the year the world is supposed to end according to the Mayan cosmology.

"That will be the day, that the world gets blown away!!"

i especially like the concept of 2012 because the DAY on which the world ends in the Mayan calendar is my birthday, December 23. yay! I will be 44, and the world will be about 5000, or 6000, or 4 billion, depending on who you ask.

From SYNAESTHESIA 2008: Amy Rude and Steev Hise

This is an edit of footage from the 2nd-to-last set of this year's Synaesthesia, on March 29. This set consisted of improvised music by Amy Rude, and improvised video by Steev Hise (me). I was using a software/hardware package called NuVJ, basically a small video mixing controller that has several buttons and knobs and faders, that controls the software, allowing me to manipulate and mix together various video clips stored on the computer.
