before this rec, i had only heard time trades but i just listened to a lot of jeffrey lewisā discography thanks to you and i loved it, thanks for the recommendation :)
Youād think this wouldnāt be a favorite of mine considering it was solely what I related to when I got out of a previous abusive relationship, but one cannot deny the raw emotion of Jeff Buckley
Older + Walk Me Home ā Searows Weāre In Love ā boygenius The Night We Met ā Lord Huron & Phoebe Bridgers State Lines ā Novo Amor Jacob and the Stone ā Emile Mosseri I think I tear up whenever music has a connection to heartbreak or loss or resentment. Itās weird (and beautiful) to know we get to partake in someoneās process of healing through a song they shared. Itās a brief moment of connection across the universe.
Composing a short film about childhood at the moment and Iāve been leaning heavily on this Casio PT-1 keyboard I picked up at a flea market in Barcelona. They were manufactured starting in 1985 as a simpler alternative to Casioās LV-1, hailed to be the first commercially available synth. Anyway love this sound itās so tactile without feeling too boxy, Iāve really enjoyed playing it through my Tascam 414 as a preamp.
Alright hereās a quick look at hand processing 16mm motion picture film. The stock I shot for this film is called Kodak 3378, itās a high contrast black and white reversal film stock, which basically means it doesnāt develop as a negative but as the actual viewable image. The process of āhand developmentā is an interesting one. First 100 ft of film are loaded into a light proof tank. The chemical process I used is called E6 and it consists of a few steps that can be performed at room temperature: first developer, second developer, rinse, bleach, fixer, photoflow. Exposing the film to these chemicals four particular times results in the final image. This step is the rinse, the 3378 stock is the slightly purple film. Hand processing creates strange patterns and aberrations, disturbances created by a process that is inherently imperfect. It allows the artist to play with the parameters of 16mm image making but maybe more importantly, its results are a direct effect of the artistās hand on their work. This is why we shoot film in a digital world: itās something we can physically affect as true human beings.
