I have completed several synth compositions that could be in this project. Two short vigenyetts are done, City and Before Autumn.  City is all footage I shot driving around downtown Rochester, and Before Autumn is all green leaves.  
I plan to work on music tomorrow, if not shoot some video.  
I also have some 16mm stock that I plan to shoot and hand process soon.  I have 3 scenes that I want to shoot in film.  One is going to have meditations as I film the beach of Lake Ontario.  Maybe I could do that tomorrow.  Another is a model posing, sort of Edie Sedgwick style, in black and white... I don't have a model yet, but I'm looking.... The final one I want to do is a pseudo-performance, where I'm playing instruments in a big room (maybe the gallery) but the music has little to do with the performance.

        The short film collection tentatively titled Hear::See will have its construction documented in this blog.  The overall piece will consist of short, independent vignettes.  Each vignette will have an audio composition in concert with the moving image.  
         I am attempting to be more experimental in my film and music making.  Some possible vignettes are as follows:

         1. City-  a collection of images from cities with a minimalist music accompaniment.
         2. Autumn Approaches-  trees and ambient music
         3. Vista of a neighborhood-  my neighborhood and a composition
         4. So Many Fields-  a collection of fields set to a composition 
         5. Blank Room-  a pseudo-performance shot in 16mm in a blank room
         6. A Bit of Nothing- abstract camera work with space musical accompaniment 
         7.  Inland Sea-  waves and beach of Lake Ontario in the fall. Incidental meditations
         8. Pictures of You-  a stop motion piece from made from my digital photo archives
         9.  This Years Model-  b&w of model with music
        10.  Bridges-  Shots of and from bridges
