What do you want from me, Colonel?
The girl.... and right away!
In my life of nightmares, Portofino really seems like a dream.
Isn't it possible they may be sharper than we are?
Now it's obvious they must have an informer...
One of the three of us!
I've got a job for you right away.
In my life of nightmares, Portofino really seems like a dream.
A dead traitor can be useful.
She might be smarter than we think.
That's just the kind of film I like - short and significant.

The Dark Art of BENTMEN (2020 - HD)

Since 1983, BENTMEN have been thrilling and bewildering audiences with their intense tribal drumming, pyrotechnic guitars and mind-bending immersive theatrics. This special presentation, featuring performances from our most recent appearances, along with rare and previously unreleased footage, is an all-new, career-spanning retrospective.

Everson Coleman on Cinema – Episode 01 – DEAD OF NIGHT (1945)
Frank and I have a long history with the movies, and with each other. This is our first video podcast together. It's about our first date, in third grade, watching DEAD OF NIGHT at one of my father's long-running Saturday night screenings in our living room.
We are both quite passionate about continuing dad’s work in edifying the next generation, and stressing the importance of preservation. We agreed that if this were to have value, rather than regurgitate every detail of the production history, we should talk about what these films meant to us, and why people might enjoy them now.
If you enjoy this and want to see more, please subscribe to this channel. We'd also love to have your support on our Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/frankcoleman).

Lyrics:
Ashes fell from cigarettes
like snow upon your lips.
Neon lights illuminated
the veins inside your wrists.
Words your uttered follow me
like a wound that doesn’t heal.
I read it twice, to make sure it was real...
In the back of a magazine.
Ashes fell from cigarettes
in a hall for aged men.
First time I had seen you happy
since I don’t remember when.
Words you uttered follow me
like some forgotten lore...
Last time I would see you, before...
He shot you down
In a fit of jealousy.
I heard about it
In the back of a magazine.
He shot you down
In a fit of jealousy.
I heard about it
In the back of a magazine...
In the back of a magazine...
In the back of a magazine...
You only ever brought me home
with one eye on me
and one eye on the road.
He shot you down
In a fit of jealousy.
I heard about it
In the back of a magazine...
In the back of a magazine...
In the back of a magazine...

Through the windows of a foreign train
Look around
Look around
Destinations with unfamiliar names
At the speed of sound
Nowhere bound
In the distance I see lighted signs
Advertising the life
I want to leave behind
Looking forward to the other side
Where no one can sell you
Night falling and I see Apollo rise
Hand into heaven
Turn away with a heavy sigh
How can I
Touch the sky?
I lay back in my seat and dream
No way of knowing
Where this foreign train is taking me
Taking me
Taking me
Touch the sky

Variations on Jackson Pollock's "Summertime 9a" in VR (Music Video)
Music and Graphics by Frank Coleman.
I took the largest print I could find of Jackson Pollock's "Summertime 9a," broke it out by color spectrum in Photoshop, exported the pieces as separate PNGs with transparent backgrounds, imported those into a virtual reality environment (Tilt Brush), built a “room” out of the pieces in 360 space, then did a fly-thru, in one unbroken five minute take, using Tilt Brush's handheld virtual camera, which saves it out as standard 720p video. So it's "shot on location" inside VR.
The music came from an undeveloped song idea I wrote for Satellite Paradiso a few years ago. Everything you hear is me, multi-tracked, all from one keyboard.

A spontaneous music video I created in virtual reality with Microdose VR, inspired by meeting Youth at last week's double-header Killing Joke shows in NYC. I'm painting in mid-air, and the graphics bounce to the music in real time.
The software has been in development for three years and only released for initial testing in the last few weeks. Ultimately, they'll license it to VJs for public performance, so consider this my audition reel. 😉

Frank Coleman - STIGMATIC (1993) Early VR Art
Interactive art environment from 1993 using Macromedia Director and QuickTime. Unplayable for many years, resurrected as a video. From 21st Century Art (http://21ca.com).
Additional technical information: QTVR was still a year away. This played pretty smoothly at the time. It was one big quicktime movie with a companion lookup table that preloaded the next set of frames (depending on where you were and which direction you were headed) and blitted them to the screen. I'd turn direct-to-stage on, so it would write directly to the video buffer, then off again and swapped out the QT movie for the requisite JPEG destination keyframe for the next scene.
This was released on a CD-ROM so it ran on whatever the recommended spec of the time was. Probably 4MB RAM. Lingo is still the best scripting language I ever used, in my opinion. It's simplicity and readability by "normal people" is what gave it it's power. Some languages are so powerful that nobody can use them. 😉

7:30PM, Sunday night. My phone rings.
“Hey, we need a music video for Elizabeth by 9AM tomorrow morning. She’s going on TV to promote the new Downton Abbey movie. The only problem is we don’t have any footage.”
“That’s not your only problem. It’s 7:30, the night before.”
“We know. All we have is four other videos she did previously. The production values are great, but they’re four completely different songs, each with completely different lyrics and tempos than this one. Can you help us?”
“Sure. I can give you ONE HOUR. Put everything in a bag and send it to me. I’ll figure it out.”
[Two hours later]
“Here’s your video.”
Elizabeth: “It’s absolutely incredible. I’m amazed.”

Frank Coleman on Drums - How much is that DnB beat in the window?
The nice people at Dyckman Electronics have a new Tama kit in their window, and they let me come in and blow off some steam from time to time. Nothing beats real drums, but I love all the different flavors of electronica, and Drum n Bass beats are massive fun for the drummer. Big fan of Jojo Mayer. Bear in mind, the kit is set up backwards for me (I play left-handed).

Frank Coleman explains Nim, the game from Last Year at Marienbad (1961)
Frank Coleman explains Nim, the game played in the film, "Last Year at Marienbad" (1961). The film is famous for its enigmatic narrative structure, in which time and space are fluid, with no certainty over what is happening to the characters, what they are remembering, and what they are imagining. Its dreamlike nature has both fascinated and baffled viewers; many have hailed the work as a masterpiece, although others have found it incomprehensible. Much like the game itself.

Frank Coleman reads the Sunday Papers (from over 50 years ago)
A deep dive into an incredible time capsule, in which your host finds hidden gems in the back pages of The Daily News from over 50 years ago. It begins with the discovery of a long-lost interview with director Alain Resnais, and quickly gets much, much darker as we get closer to the front page. Having the object in your hand allows for accidental discoveries that no suggestion algorithm could match. #NotFakeNews

The code is Lingo (Macromedia / Adobe Director), circa 1996, (!) but the real point here is the way in which it's organized.

21CA - The Planet - 1994 CD-ROM Demo
21st Century Art set out to create a multi-authored multimedia art "world" in 1994. Each member would design a geographical area of their choosing, and we'd all pitch in to build it. It was a sprawling concept to try to explain, especially in those pre-Internet days, and it was meant to be in the same vein as The Residents' CD-ROMs put out by Voyager, that were the pinnacle of multimedia art at the time (and today, unplayable). We put together this tongue-in-cheek travelogue demo and presented it to venture capitalists in NYC, who were, I suppose predictably, baffled. Most of the 3D animation was by Karlo Takki.

Ovaltune (1992)
In 1992, we wired up a Mac to run Ovaltune, which converted the mouse's x/y position to MIDI notes while painting trails onscreen from imported graphics. You could link the graphics with specific sound banks, here on a Korg M1.
It was the most pure example of my E=MC2 of Multimedia: "Any element of any kind of media can be used to change any other element of any other kind of media."
Starts off as you might expect - angular, then morphs into... something else.
In retrospect, it was the first iteration of the "musical paintbrush" seen in later products such as Kid Pix. We used it in live performance the following year.

by 21st Century Art.
Music by Blood Blister. Animation by Frank Coleman. Concept and Direction by Kevin Foley. Circa 1992.
Kevin and I worked side by side putting this together after hours at the Kodak Multimedia Lab where we both worked in Lowell, MA. We were feeling our way with the new tools and technologies - 3-D Sketch, Adobe Premiere, etc., but I think we came up with something pure. I'm sorry it's our only such collaboration. Kevin died a few years later, and I miss him terribly. I've held him close in my heart every step along my subsequent journey into interactive multimedia art, trying to live up to his inspiration and vision.
