Music Machine
Music Machine is a counterpart to the film Small Parts created in 2001. The central concept to Small Parts involved using all audio and source imagery from a miniature music box. Music Machine was created with this same concept in mind. The subject this time being an automated carillon machine located in Stanford's Hoover Tower in Palo Alto California. Like its predecessor, Music Machine masks its subject's scale creating its own mechanical world. However it stands in contrast to Small Parts as this mechanical world is far less comforting and nostalgic, making for a more ominous tone of mechanical emotion.

Fallen
www.fallenfilm.org
Fallen uses the iconic imagery found in mythology and religion to create a modern myth. Presenting itself as a tale of creation, the film illustrates the simultaneous appreciation and paranoia of the technological age. The interest in forms-- both organic and fabricated--is mirrored by a fusion of the contemporary with the ancient. Featuring the music of Ethan Rose's Ceiling Songs on Locust Music, this is the 6th collaboration between
Rose and Jeffery .
