Quarantine Videos: Découpage, Time-Lapse and Original Music

The pandemic has given me time to continue documenting my studio's evolution, as well as the projects built therein, inlcuding time-lapse & animated video assemblages of mixed-media découpage pieces being built, set to fresh remixes of music I composed, arranged & performed.

  • Texaco No. 7

    Time-lapse & original music about cultural devastation and a rise from the ashes (although we all know what rebirth's worth in the end.)

  • Seer/Sucker

    “Seer/Sucker” aka “The Illustrated Man’s Guitar” is a mixed-media découpage exploration of better days in the USA.

  • The Spirit of ’59

    “The Spirit of ’59” is a mixed-media découpage exploration of the days back when popular music was good.

  • 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.

  • LP Or Die

    I made the mistake of leaving for college w/o laying down some ground rules, and my folks tossed my vinyl collection in the trash.

  • Death Throes of PC DOS

    This time-lapse explores the intersection of color, serendipity and the lovely chaos brought about by a freshly-kaput 28-year-old computer.

  • Time-Lapse Outdoor Christmas Tree Lights

    A family tradition for decades: stringing the lights on the tree in the traffic circle in front of our family home.

  • Leon Loved The Snaked Girl

    Named for characters in the film Blade Runner, this is a salute to Film Directors and DPs who could really set-up a shot. Music composed & performed by me.

A section of my studio was featured in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine's Second Glance section:
