Hedia - Whitetrees
Univers/Elementum Nº 016
As a melded series of paintings, stenciled sumi brush drawings, distinctive landscapes seen from 20,000 feet, paper cutouts and crafted debris - "Whitetrees" is a film that illuminates at the rate of a firefly's pulsation. Made for the track "Whitetrees" - by Hedia (Bryce Hample), on the album "Wool". Out now on Unknown Tone Records.

Classroom Citizens
Univers/Elementum Nº 006
Classroom Citizens is an abstract document of human progress. It follows the path of the Manufactured Object, from factory products to cookie-cutter housing developments, as they are produced in massive number, and eventually abandoned to decay. The film portrays its main subjects as monuments to their own creators, glorious and ultimately useless. Participation is undeniably mandatory, and most of us, as members of society, are at the mercy of the powerful few who command the mechanisms of this system.
Related to this are the ethics of the elementary classroom. When some students are misbehaving, it is common to punish the class as a whole. Regardless of an individual's pursuits in silence and daydreaming, one often finds himself putting his head down on the desk with the entire class. This is our introduction to the social contract. No matter the number of people who share a belief, the belief should be analyzed by its content. Majority rule is wrong, because logic, which is often lacking, should always be the prevailing factor for determining correctness of policy or theory.
Horsehair Everywhere layers a converged, textural soundtrack to the film, made up of many improvised pieces. In the absence of dialog and narrative action, the musical track becomes a signifier of conflict and meaning.
Classroom Citizens is made up of places, textures, actions and strangers. The space within the film is meant to be a nesting ground for the thoughts and ruminations of the viewer. This gives breathing room for imagination to develop with an ongoing absorption of the film’s aesthetics. The end sequence is an exploration of landmarks of Detroit’s abandonment, as a worshiping examination of such brilliant early Twentieth Century architecture. The completely unconventional structure of this film requires simultaneous patience and philosophical restlessness, and it is this combination that the film aims to promote in the future of the avant-garde.

Pink Priest - Goddess
Univers/Elementum Nº 007
"This triptych of music videos, which accompanies Pink Priest's release on Kimberly Dawn Records, unites pertinent visual textures with each distinctive track. The harsh noise of Part I "Slept In Caverns" accentuates the ancient primitive nihilism and aggressiveness that remains in a caged iguana. In macro closeup, it's as if the sound is following the contours of the rough reptilian skin, while double exposures push the imagery into abstraction. Part 2 "Platonic Headdress" uses timeless black and white 16mm footage of two silhouettes exploring an abandoned, rotting house while the meandering melody of the track explores it's own washed-out, buried-over aural space. The final part of this long decrescendo, "You Would Like to Talk to Me About Loneliness" entombs the ambient drone melody deep inside an endless country field covered in snow and fog. All are bookended by hand painted, back-lit title screens which compound the subtle beauty of the entire piece." - Lee Noble
