Video

[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Tokyo Aglow tours the Japanese capital by road and rail. Whereas Aerial Arterial (the first installment) explores the edifices of the city from elevated perches, Tokyo Aglow captures the city from the blacktop. [/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The automated Yurikamome flows through Odaiba and arrives downtown. A taxi whips to converging clusters of crowds in Shibuya. Scores surge, stream and swarm, tangle and scramble. Patterns of people, probabilities and periodicities, play. Weaving and knotting, the masses rhythmically engage with the machinery of modern life.[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Koto inspired chords underpin the music of the piano. Trombone, trumpet and violin map to the patterns recurrent and emergent. Crosswalk chimes, chirps and cuckoos echo into the night.[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]“Tokyo Aglow” is the second of five installments of At The CONFLUX, a short film exploring the rhythm of urban Japan and its people.[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Stay tuned for the premiere of installment three, “A City, A Sonder,” on Monday, June 13th.[/font][/size]

[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]At the Conflux was shot during two trips to Tokyo. In May and June of both 2014 and 2015. Editing began in earnest in November of 2015 along with the composition of the music.[/font][/size]


[size=small][font='Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The time-lapses were shot in raw (with a 5D Mark III and a Sony A7s) developed in Lightroom, and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I composed the music at the piano with paper and pencil, input it into Finale 2014, recorded the music into Pro Tools in two separate recording sessions, processed the field recording in Ableton and Max MSP, and did the final edits in Adobe Audition and in Premiere.[/font][/size]
