So here’s a little teaser for our upcoming show ‘The Secret Agent’. The footage is taken from our work-in-progress showing, mixed with the brilliant work of Paddy Molloy who also put the teaser together. The music is from William Basinski’s album, ‘Melancholia’.

I think that the last time we posted anything was last September – well I know it was, I can see from the date on the next post down! We’ve been incredibly busy since then with various projects. We’ve both been doing a lot of freelance work as well as, of course, working hard with [more...]
