i just uploaded "untitled_in_case_no_03" in that shitty quality to help you save the time, it takes you to find it on my portfolio

here you go

night! you see the shadows of a human being walking above an embankment. carrying paint in the one hand and a paint roller in the other. trains are passing by. the lights of the railway switch from red to green - again and again. now you see the shadow of the man in the drainage ditch ... painting the wall. a short impression of what graffiti also is: suddenly there!

the film consists of about 600 single shots, taken with a digital SLR camera. by putting the iso to 400 i tried to get some color noise, typical for digital photos. the sound was generated from the moviefile by a PD patch (the picture was analized and converted to sound). Additionally the .mov was opened in a audioeditor and another layer of klicks was added.

 

Thanks to 5Boro teamrider and ramp designer Benno Hankowetz, after some initial troubles with another local wannabe skateshop, we finally got a brand new curved quarterpipe at the park in Gmunden city!

The session is on!!

checkout the documentary here

 

a new mix by his alterego Six Vicious is available here

Sixtoo is on some entirely other shit. Sampling live as opposed to sampling records. Playing as a musician instead of a collage-artist. Working with people that can help to fully realize the ideas within the music, as opposed to strangling ideas in order to keep them contained and manageable. His new album entitled "jackals and vipers in ency of man" is out NOW on Ninja Tune. (text taken from rhiz.org)

Montreal's Ghislain Poirier is obsessed with big, dirty beats, an affliction that causes him create some of the most out of control ragga style riddims, and deconstructed abstract hip-hop to date.

In the past Poirier has collaborated with MC's and DJ's from across the globe, working with NYC's resident Large cats MC Beans (Warp) and DJ Rupture (Tigerbeat6), as well as Parisian heavy weights TTC (Big Dada) and London's Lotek Hi-Fi (Big Dada) amongst others. (text taken from rhiz.org)
