For the third year running, we took part in the Edinburgh College of Art's international animation challenge for participants each to create an animation a day over the course of 10 days. We provided these eight full pieces and a collection of 17 short vignettes for animators to use and abuse as they wished. We've provided vimeo links to half a dozen of the shorts that used our stuff. 

All the music comes from about seven hours of improvisations recorded between December 2016 and February 2017. For these, we collaborated with two young contemporary classical composers, Cameron Graham and Aaron Parker, who gave us free rein to use and abuse their original recordings as we saw fit. 

The initials after each track refer to the composer whose music we used and the source jam from which the tracks came (thus APJ1  came from Aaron Parker Jam 1). Full edits of these and many more improvisations can be heard here: https://www.mixcloud.com/silo_portem/

Regarded as the father of contemporary haiku, Masaoka Shiki was a poet and literary critic during the Meiji period Japan.

He advocated realistic observation by “sketching” (shasei) poems and going out into nature with notebooks, thus abandoning the traditional subjects of haiku of the time. His advice for an aspiring poet was, “Use both imaginary pictures and real ones, but prefer the real ones.”

This is an audio-visual meditation on Salvador Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus; one of my absolute favourite paintings. Find out more about the painting at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphosis_of_Narcissus ... The haiku grew out of my playful collaboration with AI art and video tools. Watch the painting spring to life in various ways!!
