Chucks Reduxe

“Chucks Reduxe” is a time-lapse of my studio shot in late-fall quarantine20 on a cheap-o camera with a soundtrack composed and performed by me.

Over the years my studio has evolved into an installation evoking the better elements of a Berlin nightclub, a London used book store, an NYC record store and an LA pawn shop. All in a Washington cellar.

Functionally? This space is an overlay: a design studio, an art gallery, a performance area, a museum and a recording studio. Now it’s a bunker, too.

Aesthetically? Look in any direction and see a manifestation of the dream state.

Musically? I wrote the soundtrack and played all the instruments.

My goal with this video is to begin documenting this space at a lower-entropy point in time. What you see here is a pretty small part of the overall installation. Check back for more.

More Quarantine Videos: Découpage & Time-Lapse

The pandemic was the impetus in documenting my studio's evolution, as well as the projects built therein.

This includes time-lapse & animated video assemblages of mixed-media découpage pieces being built, set to fresh remixes of music I composed, arranged & performed.

Where's The Real Emma Peel?

This is a panoramic walking tour of my studio emphasizing its dream-state vibe, painted with LoRes strokes by a cheap-o camera.

Mary What's Her Name

Pieces sliced straight from a quarantine dream, this photographic study of my studio is a tour of obsolescence. I wrote & performed the music, shot the pix.
