When creating the ‘Teletext is Dead’ video, I tried out a number of soundtracks, messing around with the pacing before finally settling on a fast paced, hectic concoction. This early mix, by contrast, is much more relaxing and laid back, whilst at the same time strangely intense. Music is provided by Nick McCabe.
Oh, and now you know where inspiration for the ‘Dreamy’ instrumental (as seen in this video) comes from.
Coming soon to a HMV near you… Analogue Propaganda on Dee Vee Dee. In actual fact, I doubt anyone would buy the thing even if it were wholesale. Nevertheless, you can watch this piece of videographic excellence — which includes high quality versions of many videos previously available only on YouTube – if you come round to my house and ask me nicely. I’ll also try and persuade the local rental shop to buy a copy…
Ha! Election time is almost upon us, which reminded me of something, namely those Gordon Brown mashups I did a couple of years ago, the ones Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic didn’t like too much. I seem to recall him saying something about the limited pool of footage… but anyway, at least these days there’s a home for them amongst the sea of stupidity and silliness that is YouTube.com.
In actual fact, I’ve been testing out a new version of the video editing software I’ve splashed out on. Whether it’ll be worth the 25 quid, who knows, but I thought I might as well get my money out of it. To this end, here’s an upscaled-to-HD version of the Kung Fu Gordon Brown video which, just a couple of years ago, we’d have never dreamed of seeing in high def. Have fun, and don’t take it too seriously, y’all.
The titular video heading the Analogue Propaganda project, which explores non-analogue glitching and questions whether digital television really does provide a better viewing experience. The speech was grabbed from this vid on YouTube.
Visuals captured on a glitched up Freeview box. Sound is a mix of various glitch noises.
