video: Borbetomagus at State-X New Forms

Jef Mertens · 12.28.2010, 02:23 AM

I did a 2-minute video of Borbetomagus at State-X New Forms in December 2010. It's the first video in which I used scratched 16mm film.
The video is an exercise for a Borbetomagus dvd I'm working on hopefully set to release on Taping Policies next year.

Let me know what you think - enjoy!

Uh, I must be very tired or something, but how the fuck do I play that video?

Wow!

This is pretty neat.

Thank you, Jef.

Bad-ass couple minutes. I hope your project of a Borbetomagus DVD materializes. I'm still looking forward to checking out the Lee Ranaldo & Leah Singer "Drift" DVD that was released by Taping Policies last year. Ordered it a while ago from the Sonic Youth store, i should receive my copy soon.

I've enjoyed your work in the past (the "Massage the History" video, "Elegy From The Hearts", "Lovefields From A Sonic Dream"...), and sincerely wish you much success in the projects you are embarking on.

Skuj, you just have to click on the "play" button. same way you do on Youtube. Or just click over the video, that will work as well.

I'm working it out as it goes and if it goes as planned it might turn into something great.

Thanks! It's really been great making it all work. Got some pretty cool new projects in the pipeline.

I really like it Jef... it suits the sound, but agree with Bytor Peltor's point about not using it throughout the whole DVD.

Can't wait to see the finished thing.
