As a child, we see the world through a veil of eerieness only perceptible by those for whom oblivion was a relatively recent state of affairs.
Each Syntheme, made from VHS footage, is a silhouette of uncanniness burned into the stone of the collective unconscious by the radiation of a CRT screen.

The music and visuals of these three videos were made entirely from VHS production company logos.
A vector eclipse rises from the east. Triangular acrobatics. Clipped rainbows. Squares are dancing, and they’re doing it recursively.
From the VHSaves EP, TeleKONAMInesis
Space diamonds are placed according to a grid. Pixel geometry and imposing mandalas. An aperture whirls into a knotted spectrum.
There are angel harps. A pyramid, and how it glows.
From the VHSaves EP, TeleKONAMInesis
An echo is flanked by exploding comets. Film appears, and then heroes in glass.
Sigil-born soldier. A wizard floats into frame. In the end, we all crystallize. In the end, we vanish.
Music and video made to commemorate a friend’s vintage auto purchase:
Auditory spirals. Someone flips a switch. A fist so tight with leather. The sun reflects the smooth coat. It’s the color of an apple.
Electrified Egyptian gasoline. A hairpin turn under control. Riding the lighting. The crunchless damp of soaked autumn leaves.
Video made circa 2008, featuring vocals from my wife.
A calculated mantra phases into sight. The balletics of a lightbody. Ruins and ruins and ruins and keys.
Other projects:
Mirror-wizard hallucinates through a black candle. A goat is revealed. Through a bloodstorm, an investigator stalks. A strobic damsel. Posterized time.
From the Opal-Eye album, The Beggar
A test without sight. A hand supinates. The circus of locks and girls and static.
Mind over matter. Scientific panic.
From the Jillian Craft album, Visitation
A crazed merchant uses gems to lure the crones on which he feeds. A solid bargain is offered. The tracking is out of control.
From the self-titled Transmuteo EP
