the sleeper must awaken

an image is of itself- not necessarily connected to a sound. light passes, there are layers.
sounds can be taught to move, to be useful in telling a story, as wells as pleasing on the ear. bits of conversation, noises, tones, sent through different channels, slowly, quickly.
film pauses. overlaps. interuptions and tangents.
get as close to your experience as physically possible. look at your life, examine everything, be open to attempt and to be attempted.

when i go outside every day i see films, i see pictures. i hear soundtracks. they follow me, hounding me like ghosts. only when i hit record do i feel relief. i write this now so i won't forget it tomorrow. expressions and inspirations are ships that pass in the night. they come and go as they wish, and lead us where they will. it is important that they are sometimes let go, and sometimes captured, like different sizes of fish, so they can inspire us later when we return to them. record different conversations, or even scenes, separately, assign them to different channels, overlap them subtley. images all but disconnected from the sounds. give nothing to simbols, unless they occur within the natural makeup of the given day.
