RESONANT FORMS: A GUIDED FREQUENCY COMPOSITION

A 12-minute guided listening work built from five resonant frequencies documented in the 2024 study Exploration of Resonant Modes for Circular and Polygonal Chladni Plates by A. K. F. Val Baker and colleagues.

On a Chladni plate, vibration moves sand into lines and patterns, making the resonant structure visible.

Each tone is accompanied by a visual reinterpretation of the geometric pattern documented at that frequency, with short intertitles marking the progression from one frequency to the next.

I arranged the tones using oscillators, created images and intertitles as a gradual movement through different forms of resonance, allowing each frequency time to settle before the next begins.

Headphones recommended.

^ANNOUNCEMENT^

The map changes. Screamstation Fest returns to London this November, with the 2026 edition taking place at Close-Up Cinema.

Independently founded and run since day one, Screamstation has always evolved with each edition, and this is the next one: same artistic direction, same commitment to experimental and hybrid cinema, new chapter.

I’m also pleased to welcome Kerry Baldry as Co-Director and Co-Curator. Kerry is an artist, filmmaker and independent curator with extensive experience in experimental moving image. We’ve worked together on several projects over the years, and I have great respect for her artistic judgement and curatorial eye.
Looking forward to building this next chapter together.

I want to thank Nataša Šimunov and the team at Kino Valli for their openness, support and willingness to host Scream Station Fest in P**a this year. I’m grateful too to everyone who supported that idea. The move back to London has brought a new clarity to this edition and opened up possibilities that I’m genuinely excited to pursue.

For everyone who has submitted films, nothing changes. The selection process continues as planned, and the programme, announced this autumn, will be broader, more ambitious and more experimental than previously planned, with a few surprises along the way.

More soon.

A few moments from last night’s sold-out Beyond Echo at Close-Up Cinema.

Thank you to everyone who came along. The screening sold out on the day, so I sincerely hope everyone who wanted to see it managed to get a ticket.

It was lovely to catch up with my fellow co-curator Kerry Baldry, Guy Sherwin, Lynn Loo, Tansy Spinks, and many others.

The programme also included the premiere of my Mute Departures: Stay Awake and Echo (redux), a reconfiguration of an earlier two-channel installation into five interconnected film pieces presented throughout the evening.

Many thanks to Will for all his help on the night, to Jake for all the support in the lead-up to the screening, and to everyone at Close-Up Cinema for making us feel so welcome.

Hopefully I’ll have a few more photographs/videos from the event to share soon.

BEYOND ECHO update: Part 2
The soundcheck done. I was happy to see my grandad’s Harmonija bouncing sound waves inside the London cinema 75 years later, and almost 50 since I first played a few notes on it, coached by him. More to come.

See you at 8 pm. Most artists will be there around 7 pm. Important: the auditorium at CLOSE-UP is
*air-conditioned* which is super refreshing, but the heatwave will be breaking in the evening anyway.

LAST CALL — BEYOND ECHO

Experimental films + live sound in dialogue.

A one-off evening with Guy Sherwin, Lynn Loo, Kerry Baldry, Tansy Spinks and Zhel at Close-Up Cinema.

Films, expanded cinema and live sound responses meet through juxtaposition, transformation and performance, creating unexpected connections across decades, formats and approaches.

Highlights include:

• Guy Sherwin's Newsprint Extra (begun in 1972 and only recently completed with a soundtrack read directly from its own optical sound)

• New works by Kerry Baldry and Lynn Loo

• Live electric violin by Tansy Spinks

• Zhel's reconfigured Mute Departures featuring Amanda Knox, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Jadranka Đokić

Selected films will be accompanied by live responses from Tansy Spinks (violin) and Zhel (guitar), created specifically for the programme.

All artists in attendance.

This Saturday, 27 June • 8pm

BEYOND ECHO
Close-Up Cinema, 27.06, 8pm

An evening of experimental film and expanded cinema featuring Guy Sherwin, Lynn Loo, Kerry Baldry, Tansy Spinks and Zhel.

Diverse moving image practices meet through juxtaposition, transformation and live sound, performed in real time within the space. Nothing here is fixed. The works stay open, shaped by the room and by the audience.

Guy Sherwin presents three works spanning decades, including Newsprint Extra, a 1972 film only now completed with a soundtrack read directly from its own optical sound.

Lynn Loo's films reveal hidden sonic details captured through highly sensitive microphones.

Kerry Baldry presents new work where voice and intertitles shift the relationship between image, text and sound.

Tansy Spinks performs live on electric violin and presents unseen work from her ‘Sequence for Camera.’

Zhel presents a fully reconfigured Mute Departures: Stay Awake and Echo two-channel installation , built around found footage of Amanda Knox and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and performances by Jadranka Đokić.

Tansy (violin) and Zhel (guitar) perform live responses throughout.
A rare chance to experience experimental film and live sound in real time, with all artists in attendance.

Curated by Kerry Baldry and Zhel.
