The single-system 16mm camera on which I had shot PLAGIARISM, RADIO ADIOS, & MONEY had died of stress and I thought this would allow me to pursue synch ideas. Unfortunately video editing at that time involved bumping the footage up to 3/4" U-matic and paying $12.50/hour to work on 2 decks with a controller; it was cheaper to shoot 16mm and get a workprint. The conceit of the abandoned project was to create artist couples (people that had never before met) and have them discuss relationship issues and love. Participating artists include Joe Gibbons, Lee Katz, Emily Breer, Robert Hilferty, Eve Heller, and Roberto Juarez. Alongside this footage was an ongoing discussion with Charles Bernstein on the implications of working in video as opposed to film. Plus, one cold morning when nothing was working out, I addressed the camera directly in a (what seemed at the time desperate and harrowing but now seems Woody-Allen-ish) scene that is central to the final edit. <a href="Hills.html#Gotham"><img class="cinema" src="http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/video/Hills/Hills-Henry_Gotham_1990.jpg" /></a> GOTHAM, 1990 2 minutes, 13 seconds a music video for John Zorn's Naked City.

Filmed primarily on the streets of Manhattan for the ambient sounds and movements and occasional pedestrian interaction to create a rich tapestry of swirling colors and juxtaposed architectural spaces in deep focus and present the intense urban overflowing energy that is experience living here. MONEY is thematically centered around a discussion of economic problems facing avant-garde artists. Discussion, however, is fragmented into words and phrases and reassembled into writing. Musical and movement phrases are woven through this conversation to create an almost operatic composition. Give me money! Starring: John Zorn, Diane Ward, Carmen Vigil, Susie Timmons, Sally Silvers, Ron Silliman, James Sherry, Peter Hall, David Moss, Mark Miller, Christian Marclay, Arto Lindsay, Pooh Kaye, Fred Frith, Alan Davies, Tom Cora, Jack Collom, Yoshiko Chuma, Abigail Child, Charles Bernstein, Derek Bailey, and Bruce Andrews. <a href="Hills.html#Radio-Adios"><img class="cinema" src="http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/video/Hills/Hills-Henry_Radio-Adios_1982.jpg" /></a> RADIO ADIOS, 1982 10 minutes, 28 seconds RADIO ADIOS is a monologue in 12 plaited strands; an extremely precise, condensed and intensely rhythmic Busby Berkeleyish spectacle of an examination of conversational and literary language over a fair range of vocal timbre, microphones, volume settings and single-system sync peculiarities and its dissolution into music to the accompaniment of simultaneous Manhattan ambiances punctuated by fragments of jazz, personalized handheld camera movement, movement from cut to cut--juxtapositions of scale, pulsating changes in light intensity, a varying pallette of various filmstocks, generations, etc., at an appropriately furious pace and in strict one-track sync,.offering simultaneously several levels of apprehension or interpretation to encourage multiple viewings. Starring Hannah Weiner, Diane Ward, Sally Silvers, Jemeel Moondoc & Muntu, Aline Mayer, Jackson MacLow, Abigail Child, Charles Bernstein, Bruce Andrews and Rashied Ali on drums, with George Kuchar as a Maoist revolutionary. <a href="Hills.html#Kino-Da"><img class="cinema" src="http://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/video/Hills/Hills-Henry_Kino-Da_1981.jpg" ></a> KINO DA!, 1981 1 minute, 42 seconds KINO DA!

Envisioning an exploration of the nature of listening (of apprehending or not, remembering or not, and creating meaning) and of the repetitions & variations of verbal expression and its accompanying often-emphatic physical gesturing as a basis for making visual music, I, as filmmaker turned "media artist", employ the full range of temporal manipulation available within my concurrent digital set-up, exploiting unique corners which differentiate DV from 16mm, though including frequent references to themes & techniques from Jacobs' own work within the arcanum of film. The "musical score" is derived through permutations of the sync track. This was the first released section from the ongoing series, premiering March 2004 at the Museum of Modern Art.

A charming yet revealing interview on the set by pre-teen protagonist Emma Bee Bernstein is interwoven with footage focusing on the periphery of a recent production--the elaborate set design and lighting, the non-speaking supporting cast (the so-called "stage crew") with their frantic movement patterns, typical props and recurrent imagery, all shot & edited in a disruptive manner to mimetically compensate for the loss of actual presence.

The film was shot around 1982, after Richard Forman had finished [Richard Foreman's] Strong Medicine, where Kate wore the wedding dress she wore in the film. I didn't edit the two reels together until around 2005, adding found sound and the blue overlay. I was told that Kate and Jack had never met before, and with no script or plan, they began interacting. The film is exactly as shot in camera, without any editing. I used two rolls of Kodak 16mm Tri-X B/W film.

That's book-collector/seller Kristin Sollenberger playing herself outside the store, along with George Monteiro. Keith wrote: "George is briefly in my Structure of the World, the man who comes out of what seems to be a doctor's or dentist's office with his hands over his face. I'm not absolutely sure I remember this correctly, so it may be someone else, but I think I'm right." Several Brown graduate students, along with faculty Sylvie Toux and Bob Arellano, the film's director, play the bookworms, but the real star is the Burning Deck printing press. Keith wrote: "The press is a Chandler & Price (made in Ohio) from around 1900. We started Burning Deck with a Chandler & Price, but not this one. This one we bought from Turkey Press when it moved from Providence to California. This kind of press, by the way, is a revised version of an earlier model called the Franklin Press—because Benjamin F himself appeared in a dream (posthumously) to the inventor and told him how to make a printing press. Unfortunately, the Franklin press, though it printed well, tended to smash printers' fingers, so was revised (perhaps more than once), and ended as the Chandler & Price platen press." <a href="Waldrop-K.php#Mush"><img src="https://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/authors/Waldrop-K/Waldrop-Keith_Nothing-but-Mush_1996.png" class="cinema"></a><a href="Waldrop-K.php#Mush">Nothing but Mush</a>, 1996 directed by Robert Arellano Keith and I wanted to make another film together, and the first thought that came up while we were rooting around for a premise was something a friend had told Keith: "The funniest thing in the world is a man with a beard eating spaghetti."

Logic and the world both begin with 'my experiences.' Each sequence of this short film seems part of a narrative which never comes clear. Shot in the early seventies, mainly in Providence, it ends with a dance around Lovecraft's grave. So much for logic. So much for world. The soundscape that accompanies the film is a recording by Robert Ashley and Paul de Marinis of Ashley's composition set to a poem by John Barton Wolgamot — "In Sara, Mencken, Christ and Beethoven There Were Men and Women." <hr /> <a name="Wyeth"> <h2>Adam Wyeth</h2> <a href="Mackey.php#Soundeye"><img class="cinema" src="https://media.sas.upenn.edu/pennsound/misc/Images/Previews/Wyeth-Adam-and-Keith-Walsh_Preview_Soundeye_Film_2005.jpeg" ></a> Soundeye International Poetry Festival: A documentary film by Adam Wyeth, edited by Keith Walsh, filmed at the 2005 poetry festival in Cork.
