Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.

A series of reality dramas happening over the course of the weekend.
A carefully thought out, simple but rich performance using just a turntable, teach yourself foreign language LP’s, the impeccable timing of a percussionist, and an idea.
CCI Sound system: a performance in which new material will be mixed and phased between two huge PA’s, one a precise Meyer system, the other a huge wall of Marshall amps
