Photos of my housemate, Kris's Roland 'Space Echo' machine. I tried explaining how this works to someone and failed miserably. It makes a nice noise.

I'm running this event in aid of local Cancer Research hospital, The Christie. It's the largest of it's kind in Europe and would greatly benefit from your donations.

I had a photo shoot with a trumpet, it was more difficult than I though, there are reflections to deal with which made lighting hard and it's quite long so focus was an issue. Another shot is on my 365 page.

Envelope F

These are taking longer to make than the 1-10 series because a: I'm taking more care over them and b: I'm using slightly larger envelopes.

This one is going to Robin in Lemont, USA.

 

All envelopes made so far can been found at peterrea.com

Defect

I was looking through some of my animations for a show, I quite liked this one apart from a section of music in the middle. It was made from a large number of colour treated long exposure photos, taken on a bus.



The rest of my animations are HERE

Floating Points - Love Me Like This (Nonsense Dub)

Far from nonsense. I can't wait for the debut album.

One of a set of photographs taken during the Matthew Halsall sextet live gig at Vortex Jazz Bar in London. Matthew Halsall on trumpet, Nat Birchall on saxaphones, Nick Blacka on bass, Adam Fairhall on piano, Rachael Gladwin on harp and Gaz Hughes on the drums. It was an amazing gig.

My bike was repaired yesterday, I thought I'd photograph this before it got caked in mud and oil again.

A lighting experiment with wood, rope and cobwebs. This is part of an artists book that I made 4 years ago, based on the Tom Waits tune 'Don't Go Into The Barn'. The book resembled barn doors and contained sinister objects, providing clues to the meaning of the piece. A film is hidden in a compartment, with photograms, containing an animation that goes with the song.
