Eager to get the real posts rolling, I offer this nugget from the archives, recorded in March of 2008.
It’s from the first outing I made with my Letus 35mm adapter, which allows one to use lenses made for 35mm cameras with HD video cameras. This makes possible a much shallower depth of field than can usually be achieved with the fixed lens on the HD camera; the video explores the expressive latitude this grants.
It is my intention to use haikutweeter as a forum for my own work, including music, and avoid appropriating the copyrighted work of others. When originally edited, this video was meant as an exercise for my private appreciation only, and utilized a wonderful piano improvisation by Keith Jarrett from his album Staircase, Hourglass, Sundial, Sand.
It’s one thing to borrow music in your own home for private use; it’s another thing altogether to plunk it out in public, like this. In the next few weeks, as I begin to post other work, I’ll re-edit or remove this post altogether; in the meanwhile - Mr. Jarrett, mea culpa, my apologies, and I offer, at the very least, this copyright notice:
Music ©1976 Keith Jarrett - All rights reserved
Please investigate Keith Jarrett’s extensive body of sublime work - the Köln Concert, the Carnegie Hall Concert (which I had the astonishing good fortune of attending), the Sun Bear Concerts - all treasures that will earn their standing as life-long companions.
