Further research, Music Inspiration, Ultre
Ultre, real name Finn Mcnichols is a collaborative member of the film making and visual arts group Flat-E. Ultres's Electro-acoustic styled music is filled with complex layers and rhythm. Ultre is not only fantastic at its complex IDM styled rhythm, but also sound design techniques. Its use of imaging and design of space is well placed and add to the quality of these layers. Also it seems as though hes very skilled in capturing the space of where the instrument was played, capturing its acoustic qualities.
'The songs are filled with an abundance of complex layers and rhythms that make your brain hurt.' (1)
One track in particular 'Lingers', on the 'The Nest and The Skull' Album has a strong resonance of acoustic qualities, atmospheric ghostliness with a strong use of reverb and recording of some sort of underground room tone from the bass qualities. The track uses a blend of lingering sine tone hence the name noticing at the end a change of placement within surround sound.
'I always lean towards creating recordings within their own world, like when you hear piano and you can hear the history not just the notes or the arrangement. (2)
With the qualities I mentioned above 'Lingers' is an inspiration to both sound design and music for my Short film. I feel that the inspiration of Ultre's music would add oe of the aspects of a 'live' element im looking for.

Cinematography, Enter the Void
"I have a phobia of movie lights," says Noé. "I dont't like having equipment on the set that would prevent me from turning the camera around. Benoit and I had an agreement on irreversible and on this film that there would be no movie lights on set." He concedes, however that exeptions were made on Void in order to create the strobe lighting for the night club, and to allow some impressionistic wahses of colors." (1)
"The danger when doing a very colorful film," he continues, "is that it can become a little gaudy. I wanted us to stay in a restrained color palette - the range is more or less between purple and orange or yellow> We tried to keep a unity to the colors." (2)

| 'The Heretic's Gate' by Doug Foster |
"The Divine Comedy still exerts a morbid grip on the imagination, and the Lazarides Gallery co-opted 16 artists to produce suitably sense-assaulting meditations on evil. Here is The Heretic’s Gate, a video installation by Doug Foster, featuring a raging inferno reflected in oil." (1)
