PETE MORAITES. "TWITTERPATION".
MUSIC VIDEO.

An excerpt from Pete Moraites.com: "This piece began with my long time fascination with sign language and led me to begin learning ASL.

“The intention was to make poetry with hands, by exploring the ideas of hypnotic poetry or poetic hypnosis, and by using the hands as fluid dancing forms… in those bits the poetry of hands resembles ASL like ee cummings poetry resembles a dictionary… they use the same forms and structures.”

Vistas, both new and familiar, take on magical properties. Cosmic forces play their game of balance on a black and white game grid. A magician's music reveals older worlds within the walls of the labyrinth. Giant roadside faith magnet shatters, releasing dynamic expressions of energetic creation.

This is how we see the world in a new light.

DAY 018 : FOUND: LISTEN
COMPACT DISC

Listen” (Day 018) is the first installment of musique concrète of the Found series. Originating as a library of rejected snips from the multimedia audio design process, these ten themed pieces (Flutters, Bodily Noises, Voices, Percussive Rhythms, etc.) also form the basis for much of the audio design in Day For Night's commissioned work, and installations by Found.

The multi-user soundspace at NIGHTlinkRail Station 018, comprises ten reactive environments and sound toys, admitting one or more users and allowing each to respond to a 360° space and interact with experimental and unusual audiovisual sensors and lighting. This installation opens early 2004.

RHYTHM FACTORY “SUCK.” DAY 024
COMPACT DISC

Suck” (Day 024) evolved quickly – beyond the companion EP to “Push” it was intended to be – into a proper album on its own.

A further exploration into breakbeat junglism, Rhythm Factory’s ten new tracks are fueled by the darker D'n'B counterpanes of “Zikcfukc (Livin Large),” “Zaouk (Patropolis),” and “Zuq (Itch To Scratch)”– while anthemic basslines and guitars draw blood during housier excursion "262111 (Clubsexy)."

RHYTHM FACTORY “PUSH.” DAY 022
COMPACT DISC

Push (Day 022) shows Rhythm Factory as a shadow of its former self, in this long-awaited reinvention, ditching its identity as protagonist of “journey musics,” and immersing itself deeper into a progressive, dream-house bath.

Featuring chiming lead lines and pounding anthems (“Panic,” “Pearl”) and fusing strains of world-indie (“Prawn,” “Psalm”), Push’s 16 tracks are an upbeat – but introspective – new offering.

PEOPLE IN PROGRESS.ORG
SITEWORK

The People In Progress sitework launched Labor Day 2002 – a completely new look for this Los Angeles-based non-profit organization. Inspired by the success stories related from the men and women recovering from substance abuse and alchohol addiction under this program, Eric Scott explains how he created 4 original short films and designed the new Flash-based site, in cooperation with KaChing, LLC.

"It was critical that we convey the warmth of this organization, in our theme Hope, from No Hope. Everyone who works there also has completed the program – from the guy at the top to the guys working in the kitchen – each has arrived at their front door in a place of spiritual bankruptcy and hopelessness. At the moment they have 84 beds, and with better funding, they can provide even more support.”
