RE/RE/RE-RECommendations (9.11.10)
by MattConley
Released 2010-09-11 15:29:55 -0300
1. "anguish" (palpitation) - One of the most powerful images I have ever seen regarding September 11th. For a photograph to embody all of the emotions of that day without the visual backdrop of Ground Zero, or even New York City, is very rare visual storytelling.

2. "Roving away" (la.jeune.vieillesse) - Easily one of my favorite audio RECords on the site. I used it already for a song: http://hitrecord.org/records/201758 but I'd really like to see how else it can be used, especially for the "Row Your Boat" collaboration.

3. "A Good Sky In Motion" (12.42) - First of all, animators always astonish me. And this piece is just so intriguing, visually striking, and a great example of a hitRECord REmix. It'll be great to see what others do with this animation.

4. "Tiny Stories Sent Out On Pizza Boxes" (Issaness) - The first thing that came to mind when I saw this was the Project Mayhem montage from "Fight Club" where the space monkeys go around changing signs. I love underground movements and leaving Tiny Stories all over the world would be a great form of art. Remember how Obey started?

5. "A Little Dream" (ForestKnauff) - A lot can be added to this musical RECord. It will be interesting to see who collaborates with Forst on this gem.

6. "the werewolf // the static light" (tonguecutsparrow) - The beat to this jumps out at me the most, but all in all this is just another fantastic RECord by tcs that could be used in a variety of ways.

7. "Reel" (JollyVan) - I used to work at a movie theater and did a little projection here and there, so this photo reminded me a lot of those days. But I think this RECord is great inspiration for future posters, graphics, and animations. It's also a reminder to everyone doing digital work that film still exists.

8. "Different London" (littlemisstalented) - This is one of the most interesting "re: Cities" submissions. It's raw audio with lots of sounds that occassionally become disorienting. But isn't that the nature of a city sometimes? It'd be awesome to see video put to this.

9. "staring contest (reading)" (InkedCanvas) - This is a great way to do a reading. Do it multiple times. Hopefully this will serve as inspiration for others to try reading things in a variety of ways, and uploading them all into one file.

10. "Mrs. Turner reads a Tiny Story - SitC3" (LizSmalls) - I don't think I'm alone in saying that Mrs. Turner's presence at "Summer In the City!" took hitRECord to a whole other level. This photo (which Joe pointed out has "stories" projected onto her) is a great representation of the community here and how each of us has many stories within us.

I took this on September 11, 2001. My father and I were on an Amtrack on the way from Detroit to Chicago. The night before, we'd been in New York City and got out on one of the last flights, ending up stranded at Detroit.

I will never forget that feeling of hearing that the twin towers were hit. Nor will I forget that deep mahogany of the bar as we all stood around and started at the tv in shock and horror.

We finally arrived home around noon on the 12th. Had the ticketing agent not gotten into an argument with my father, we would have still been in New York that day, as we planned to visit the trade towers the morning of the incident.

I was so taken by this image of Markes, I instantly wanted to animate it. Hopefully someone can find some use for it as a back drop or whatever...up to you. Thanks to Lizziemackie for a great track.

Found this film yesterday among old things. Smell of chemicals and pictures from the 60's.

[// I wanted to come up with another trilogy, but couldn't seem to figure out a good chord progression. Well that all changed with "the werewolf"'s basic beginning chords: I could easily do three different styles (well...different to me, I suppose) and somewhat have a through-line. While the other two aren't as blatant as this one about its werewolf narrative, I tried to make it as ambiguous as possible. How well that turned out, I'm not sure, but I love the shit out of this song. Man, that sounds pretentious, but I don't mean it to be. It was just fun to write and record. //]

there's something beautiful i don't understand
when i watched the bodies decompose

i could not hear your howl; the wind was wrapping around my heart
i wonder now if you would stay knowing i would always be the same
i wonder if it'd grow on you…

the winter's chill has no effect on me now
i know it's only temporary
and when i wake from my hibernation
i'll still smell the blood on my skin

i could not see you dancing under the harvest moon
i wonder now if i would have stayed had i known you'd change
i wonder if you'd grow on me

heaven wouldn't allow
your metamorphosis
the werewolf // the static light
