It's Only When You Remember...

Had an extraordinary experience in creating a video to compliment a spoken word piece by
electronic music pioneer John Foxx.
The musical portion was a backing track created in December of '09
built to suit John's reading of "Shifting City"
(an extract from his 30+ year exploration of the

Quiet Man concept).


The video itself was culled from 9 short films that ranged from
stop-motion animation,
driver safety films
and old clips documenting San Francisco in the '40s and '50s.


Having long admired his work (since 1981!) it was a joy and a challenge to create both
a musical backdrop and video to surround his beautiful spoken piece.
