War against War !

Ernst Friedrich, War against war 1924
The war against war signifies
The war of the victimised against the profiteers
The war of the deceived against the deceivers
The war of the oppressed against the oppressors
The war of the tortured against the torturers
The war of the hungry against the well fed

The ghost of communism

The ghost of communism
Was sneaking round Europe
Gone
     and again
         it loomed on the horizon
And that is why
On outbacks of Simbirsk
An ordinary boy was born
     named Lenin.
- Draft for Sergei Senkin’s illustration of Mayakovsky’s poem V.I. Lenin, 19

General Line
This is Eisenstein's classic scene from his last silent film, "General Line", about an early Russian Dairy Cooperative. This is the scene in which the cooperative uses a cream separator for the first time to make butter. I have been commissioned by Grapevine Video to compose a score for this film, and I have chosen a minimalist style. In this scene, I use mallets predominately in a fugue to demonstrate the machinations of the device, increasing in excitement and intensity until the end

Exhibition of early Soviet Children’s Books
The Productive Image
        “There exist books with numbers and books with pictures
           The other day there appeared a huge book 1680 pages
           in lengnth where each number hides a picture, or
           more precisely, and image of what will be built
           in our country during the next five years
           One number is locomotives; another, steamships           
           a third, tractors and cars,  etc

          “And behind all these numbers, one can clearly see
           a multitude of future factories, manufactures
           collective farms, electric power stations (entire
           complexes of power stations), new railways and
           highways, new canals, lakes, a new country
