Movement in a Minor Familiar 05:30 (2010)
by
Holly Antrum
Using the voice found on a mislabeled cassette tape whilst documenting her grandparents home, Movement in a Minor Familiar (Schubert Tape) attempts to breathe life back into the empty house through careful editing between sound and image – the breaks in the breath and cuts of consonants are examples of things determining the rhythm of the film.

The Defenestrascope 5:40 (2003)
by
Steven Ball
The Defenestrascope throws the view through windows from monumental towers, in contemporary and medieval European city and town. This eccentric exploration of urbanised space revolves around a sample ensemble setting of the traditional 16th century Norfolk song ‘Go from the Window’, framed by a fragmented clapping rhyme. A neo-rococo vaudevillian romp dedicated to Alan Lomax and Gus Elen.
go from the window, throw from the window
downsteps upstairs, upsteps downstairs
down in the street, out in the street
the wind is in the west, the cuckoo's in the nest
along the canal, down from the torre
bicycle piazza, amphitheatre
through the agora, crossing the ringroad
a ladder and some glasses, a rope and a pulley
crossing the platz, along the strasse
out of the window, down from the window

Kaleidoscope 08:40 (2011)
A collaboration between Katy Connor & Simon Connor
Chance operations determine the visual form of the film. There are no edited or post production effects here, simply multiple reflections witnessed and captured through a lens.
The audio composition is based on loops of voice and mobile phone interference; manipulated electronically within layers of static and distortion.

Elephant 07:30 (2007)
by
Riccardo Iacono
A performance tape made by throwing objects in urban space, exploring disorientating gyrations of eye and camera movement, the complexities of optical, physical and social engagement, and the sculptural, rhythmic interplay of sound and light.
The video was shot in the market place at South London's famous Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre and was produced during an Animate Projects residency at London College of Communication.

Modern War Trilogy (Three Kings) 04:51 (2010)
by
Erica Scourti
Three Kings, a ‘modern war’ movie set in the first Gulf War, is remade based only on the subtitles for the hard of hearing that accompany them: for example ‘explosion’, ‘baby crying’. This secondary text was used as a list of input search terms in Youtube to find corresponding videos, translating word back into audio-visual content.
Part 1 of a trilogy of remade action films about war and conflict in the Middle East in the pre-9/11 era.

new sonic realities based in the dynamics and experience of movement in, between and through place and non-place. entities and environments. trajectories and tracings. mediation and event. themes of immersion, transit, non-human intelligences, infrasonic and ultrasonic forces.
the work is entirely based upon notions of listening as composition. reception as construction. perception as the primary generative.

Quasi Static Crack Propagation
When the speed of loading goes to 0, to a quasi-static solution including an unstable phase of propagation.
Different audio-players and hdd are open and probe by several tonearms, playing the mechanics and trying to define the limits of the media. A intense sound field is explored into a wide scale of buzz and crackles.
