SOLTERBECK

I'd recently been having some fantastic dialectical discussions on film discourse with the brilliant filmmaker Jeremy Solterbeck. We've been batting around some ideas for a site specific installation piece which could be promising.

Speaking of batting, Jeremy had me pipe clamp him to this chair; I threw tennis balls at him full force to get him to grimace for real. I was hoping Paul Trapani would show up so I could shoot the images properly while Paul took slapshots with real pucks at Jeremy for full effect captured. Next time.

'CONTEXT OVER DOGMA'

Although much maligned, Chris Bangle is a genius, as is plainly evident in this clip. Misunderstood and derided initially, his influence is far reaching and largely responsible for redefining a new genre of form vocabulary seen in most new production vehicles.

THE KNIFE

I love Karin Dreijer's quirky vocals. warbling and dark but laden with that inimitable pained scandinavian urgency/attitude.

If you haven't seen the amazing Royksopp video featuring Karin's vocals (that's not her in the video btw) check it out here
