It will be shown in the evenings at the Branchage box office, 15 Weighbridge, St Helier, throughout the festival. Not sure of exact timings yet but information will be on the Branchage website nearer the time.
The same weekend our latest collaboration with Claudia Molitor "It's not quite how I remember it" will be having its world premiere at the London Sinfonietta on Saturday 3rd October. The piece - live improvisation, pre-recorded sound and stereoscopic video (still below) - will be performed during the Re-Wired concert as part of the Sonic Explorations weekend. It is being recorded for broadcast on Hear and Now on BBC Radio 3 in November.

Started another stereoscopic time-lapse collaboration with Brian yesterday, this time we're making a series of 10 day long films around Brighton - we thought it would be nice to do something in our home town. Therefore an early start at 5am to film the August bank holiday on Brighton seafront, from the last of the clubbers meandering home as the sun rose to when the sun went down again. It was a very long but entertaining day.
Amongst the people wandering past who wondered what we were doing was Matt from Restless List, had a nice chat with him and they are interested in getting involved with the soundtracks.
Other shoots planned (depending in permissions) include Devil's Dyke and paragliders, Shoreham Harbour, the West Pier, the train station, somewhere in the city centre and kite surfers out towards Lancing. They will all be screened during next years SoundWaves festival, and we'd also like to do a live event with screenings and performances by some of the musicians involved.
The Jersey film - we still need to come up with a title - has been edited into three sections and has been handed over to the musicians for soundtrack composing. Should be info on the Branchage site soon with details of screenings, etc. The rest of the festival programme is listed there, including fellow Brightonians British Sea Power performing their soundtrack to 1934 documentary Man of Aran, the All Tomorrow's Parties film, and Werner Herzog's Encounter at the End of the World.

Back from a week's filming in Jersey. Long days, many crosswords finished, and a few problems; dodgy battery or alternator in the van so we had to jump start it every time we stopped, the main stereo camera was broken and shooting out of sync for the first two days so we had to rebuild the camera and re-shoot a load of footage, and we got rained off a lot over the weekend. Due to rain and the malfunctioning camera we had to go to La Corbiere (above and below) on three days to actually get a full tidal sequence shot. Slight change of plan, rather that three 24 hour shoots we did multiple shoots all over the island, long shoots using the main camera, shorter incidental shoots using the back-up cameras, so we can build a kind of stereoscopic timelapse portrait of Jersey. We've checked bits of sequences and it looks like we've got some beautiful footage. Now the post-production starts...
