Re: Open call! send in your video!

Collaborations?

The video for the "Brain Scan Movie" is my own. The audio, however, is borrowed. See:

http://www.dmoma.org/lobby/movies/brain_scan/brain_scan.html

Would anyone in Italy–or elsewhere–want to collaborate and provide an alternate audio track(s)? They must own the rights to the audio, and declare that they own the rights. Also give the right 1) to put the 5 MB +/- version on the DMOMA site; and 2) to mix the audio with other tracks. (If I do mix, I won't alter the track–just sequence it).

I'll mix the new audio to the video, which I have in a larger format, and if it works, send it to Blueroom.

I think the track I am using is 120 beats/minute–please check if you can. Also, I'm still on dial-up, so I can't handle big files. We can work out details if anyone is interested.

You can reach me at:

Note - My rhizome membership lapses temporarily in about two days, and until renewed, I may not be able to reply during the lapse.
