"Reel 9" (2000) by The Light Surgeons


REEL 9 from THE LIGHT SURGEONS on Vimeo.


Audio visual mix created for Addictive TV‘s Mix Masters series in 2000. The video was made from sampling and filming the various pieces of equipment and technical processes employed at the surgery, along with some samples from an old archive 16mm film. Unfortunately the piece was never aired or released due to sample clearance issues.

It became part of The Light Surgeons live performance APB and was remixed live - some excerpts of which can be seen in this edit.

Directed by Chris Allen, Jude Greenaway & Andy Flywheel. Audio track by Scanone.
