"Gong Show with Clouds: video on You Tube

["Emile Tobenfeld (a.k.a Dr. T)" <emile@foryourhead.com>]

Hi folks,

I've posted another video on You Tube at http://youtu.be/KQIDnSiZJaU

Gong Show with Clouds is the second piece in my 
Improvisation/Construction series. These pieces combine video imagery 
taken at a concert of improvised music. a live recording of the show, 
and video from my library. The process is analogous to one of my live 
performances, with the video edited and constructed in the studio 
instead of live. I do not attempt to synchronize the concert footage 
with the audio recordings -- preferring to let them coexist.

I knew that the Gong Orchestra would be very suitable for this 
treatment, and I was fortunate to get a front row seat in a packed 
house from which to shoot. I made a deliberate choice to limit my 
'image palette' to imagery of clouds and images of the band.

The video is (to my eyes) very textured, mediative, and somewhat dark 
and mysterious, which I think matches the feeling of the music. I'd 
like to hear your opinion on how well this works for you.

BTW Some of my photography can be viewed at
