• Bharat was shot in Northern India in early spring 2002 and premiered in November of the same year. This is the first time I shot with the aim of assembling in panoramic triple screen mode. Scanned panning scenes were reconstructed from multiple exposures. The text is extracted from the last known recording in the english language by Mohandas K Gandhi in 1947.

• The original size is 2160x480. The Vimeo HD reduction yields a 1280x284, about 60% of the original resolution.

• Spin was my first videomusic using multiple channels. Spin is presented in three segments each dealing with its own level of abstraction. All images are obtained by "spinning" camera techniques and severe processing, the goal being of severely altering iconicity. There are no synthetic images.

• eXpress is a commission from the Institut International de Musique Electroacoustique de Bourges in France. It was premiered there in June 2002. The footage was shot on the Bourges-Paris S.N.C.F. train. The highly kinetic allure of eXpress is obtained by forcing a very fast camera shutter speed with a large aperture. eXpress explores velocities to the point of kinetic outrage, through fields, villages and city.
