Hackney Film Festival

Did help the rather wonderful people behind the upcoming Hackney Film Festival with a little bit of new typeface. A little soft, a bit inky. Just how they like it!

Ahhh and relax

Finally I have a break. So I dun a new Gaggle logo innit?

I also did Glastonbury with the hilarious, beautiful, inspiring and magical House of Doll girls. This year, as Im sure you're all tired of hearing... was just the best ever. Im still piecing together most of Sunday. No tent this year - Just dead air hostesses in a crashed Mexican en route to Bristol with a cargo of finest tequila. What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah, the BBC found us. Check out my emoting! 

Just getting ready for work... 

And your Intercontinental Flight 666-9 awaits, we hope you enjoy your flight...

And for some reason, I held on to this all festival. As well as half my wits. 

Pics thanks to the ever ready and hot Britt Cormack

Keep forgetting to post these...

The (massively) Brilliant and The Dark

We've had to joy, pleasure and absolute priviledge to be involved in this amazing project.... I'll leave it to Ben and Eileen from Open Music Archive to explain.

"The video takes as a starting point The Brilliant and the Dark, a cantata for women’s voices composed by Malcolm Williamson and Ursula Vaughan Williams, and first performed by 1,000 women volunteers at the Royal Albert Hall in 1969. The libretto approaches history from the Middle Ages to WWII through the eyes of women, via characters including witch-hunters, embroiderers, crusaders’ wives, plague stricken women, mourners and war workers.

Simpson and White have negotiated with music publishers Josef Weinberger for permission to use elements from the work and invited the all-women choir Gaggle to remix the music and lyrics of the original composition for a new music video. Filmed on location in The Women's Library exhibition hall, the video re-animates the 1969 performance through restaging situations – from the backstage preparations, to choreographed moments in the live event – which are documented in photographs held in the Library’s collection. The performers are seen in new costumes referencing the originals and amidst remade props.

The video is released under a copyleft license – generating a new resource available for the future."

Oh yeah, we look like this at the moment...

Check out this shit. Shoot by Danny North from a few months back - a true artist and gentlemen. He's done himself and us all very proud!

Looking forwards, in terror

Got a new sketchbook. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other... new projects ahead and one just about finishing, these are some starting points for two exhibitions - the good and the bad side of being our beautiful gender - (Chezza's on the good side. ish)
