BURNING WATER

BURNING    WATER    CD SOUNDTRACK  1988/89

“Burning  Water”,  develops  new forms of visual expression. In this project which took several years to develop and film we constructed special filter-lenses which enabled us to film through water. We were also inspired by the use of multiple montage techniques employed by Kenneth Anger. Each image in the film is taken from specific occult areas, symbols and images, and we achieved up to quintuple exposures of the film i.e. five montage-levels which is a very difficult process to achieve – we then engaged special computer software to treat the entire edited film and finally achieved our results, which is a film which relates directly to the subconscious levels of the mind, a kinetic Rorschach-test, an exploration of the resurgent atavistic  and  sentient  symbolic systems, used by Austin Osmon Spare,  “Burning  Water”  is  an alchemical and technological enquiry into  sub-states  of  being.  A meontological visualisation beyond analytical analysis.

THE DELIVERY

THE DELIVERY CD SOUNDTRACK  1985

The “Delivery” is the soundtrack to a  16mm film.  It is a dual-screen presentation. Its central concepts revolve and evolve around those expressed in surrealism, particularly those expressed by Antonin Artaud in “Le monde illustre’ 29th October 1927 regarding   Ia  coquille   et   le clergyman”.  Artaud  wrote:  “We should not look for logic or sequence which is present in things, but interpret images which develop in the  direction  of their  essential intimate significance which goes from outside to the inside. Coquille et le clergyman does not tell a story but develops a series of mental states which are deduced from each other as thought is from thought.”

In “cinema et realite “  it is not a matter of finding an equivalent of written language, in visual language which would be a bad translation, but of bringing out the very essence of language, transporting the actions as to a plane where all translations would be useless where the action works intuitively on the brain … the human skin of things, the derm of reality.” From these concepts and numerous others regarding Aleotory and chance operations such as those found in the works of Mallarme, Lautremont, Dos Passos, Brion Gysin and  W.S.  Burroughs et all we embarked on the construction of the film. We were also inspired by Bretons  “Seconde  manifesto du surealisme” in 1930 which took up almost to the letter the formula of Hermes:  ‘Everything leads to the belief that there exists a spot in the mind from which life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future, the high and the low, the communicable and        the incommunicable will cease to appear contradictory’.   ‘The    Delivery’ represents   an   occultation   of surrealistic themes applied to film-production techniques..

These recordings were originally released on Side Effects Records,JuIy 1988. From the beginning our intention was to present these recordings in a diqital format.limitations imposed by the frequency range of analog/vinyl formats prevented the full audible and indeed physical range of sound originally recorded ,so lessening the desired eflects.Now the spectrum is open and we can present the full density of informationas originally committed to the digital masters. This recording is the sum of a work that began in Dec 1986. Techniques devised at that stage have now been developed and applied to computer aided technology in both the production and construction of these recordings. On site recordings were made in Berlin and London and later processed  in the research laboratory of TAGC,England,May 1988.

TAGc originally intended to release a booklet to accompany this recording but due to the amount of research undertaken during the course of this project,and the accumulation of material documentation,it was decided that it would have been both impractical and restrictive to have abridged this important subject with a cut down approximation of this complex science. However,the complete information can be found in the TAGC document

‘Rotogravure’ Addition 1, under a report entitled ‘Threshold of the

lnconceivable’.This report expounds the scientific and esoteric nature of

frequencies, featuring reports from:

Dr.E.Jordan – Audiologist – England

Dr. Bernard – Audio psycho phonology centre -France

The ‘Rotogravure’ also contains articles on Meontology,Pataphysics, L.G .Lawrences Biological transmissions received from Ursa- Major,

Together with other articles from external contributors.

WARNING- Care should be taken during playback of this recording as certain frequency information could damage under-specified loudspeakers at high decibel levels.
