movies; two new, one old.

'tremor' & 'abutment' are new.
'tremor' is silent, 'abutment' has sound.

'ayran' is a couple of years old, but I just realised
I'd never posted it to the vlog before.

Re: Three More Ways of Looking at a Blackbird


Edward
I absolutely *love* the three new ones!
You've set yourself a task that is fraught with
difficulties, with complex & subtle snares.
To take a work that is as marvellous & as compressed
as the original & then to find visuals that are both
analogues & non trivial 'extensions', fleshings out,
of the the poems, requires invention, care & a
particular sort of artistic *tact* .
But it could be *too* tactful, a kind of walking on
eggshells duty piece & therefore I love too your
boldness & wit in piece #6.
Together with your somewhat grim hyper story of last
year this represents my favourite work by you so far.
( & it's getting better, in my view, although I'll be
interested to go back to the first three, which had a
slightly less sure feel for me & see if they look
different in light of the new ones: ie. either that
they were as good all the time & I failed to
completely get them or that they represent a kind of
warming up, with the utterly splendid '20 snowy
mountains' as a kind of launghing pad into these
three)
I really look forward to final seven!
