Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare...
On the edge with eyes rolled back, the waves were calling him.
As he teetered on the edge, the waves were calling him.
He had seen it, felt its might, bent under...
(Washing away, he thinks of you. Everything slows, light's flashing through.
The water flies over his head. You are me now as you lay on my bed.)
This is what he'd always known:
The promise of something greater beyond the water's final horizon. ISIS

"No views can be the same - even though they decide on the exact time, purview and frame - they all will be different ...and together they create new views, new purviews and even trouble us on the reading of time...
Duration is freed in two simoultaneously shot views - that is the rule of the dooble-voodle ...and it's potential has yet to be discovered - the beginning and the end is just the start!"
.
A not too short experimental docu-voodle featuring two simultaneously shot videos; the worlds first screening of a dooble-voodle is showing in two frames two views taken out of a window of a hiper-speed train traveling through Tokyo - 2008.03.08.
Be aware that the dooble-voodle starts with just one single frame and no sound... 'The Beginning and The End' starts after approximately three minutes runtime and ends at the end right before the voodle ends... Tokyo on the other hand never ends and ends and ends...

Moi & b.k. are thrilled and extremely proud to introduce ISIS with their song 'The Beginning and The END' (from the 2002 album 'Oceanic') on LOMEG_ROM : voodles on CONTIGUITY. Thanks to the band for the permission to adapt their unbelievable persistent and insistant music for this world-premier of a dooble-voodle-video-work! Visit ISIS on their official site! and turn up the volume...

"What is the sound of one hand clapping?"

"Wind, flag, mind moves.
The same understanding.
When the mouth opens
All are wrong."

A short experimental docu-voodle by moi capturing particular moments of reiterative but not redundant duration happening on the way in and out of one of Japans most known places of possible providers for direct intuitiv insights. Savings and rituals are well preserved in the land of the rising sun, yet, contrary to western civilisation, kept alive, build on and by no means conserved. See about four minutes of a total of 2 hours of footage (on the same issue) taken by moi and bk at the Ryoan-ji temple in Kyoto, Japan - 2008.03.11, and enjoy the zen-like sound-coulisse 'catch and release' (excerpt) by ccmixter artemisstrong.
