My second video for Fabric (the first one is here) is for Dave Clarke’s “Fabric 60″, put together during a period of several overlapping projects. The cute dancing girl is the talented Sonoya Mizuno, filmed in a small studio in Tokyo.
With the release of this video I am finally able to launch my new brand FALKOHAUS which I’ve been planning since last year together with my good friend Corvin Dhali. For now it’s a temporary site, with just a small collection of my past works; however the aim is for it to grow into a hub of audio-visual works from myself and other like-minded people, a resource for cutting edge visual works. You can subscribe to its news on Facebook and Twitter, over the coming weeks there’ll be lots of interesting stuff happening!
Here’s a small promo made for Damian Lazarus‘ mix for Fabric 54. I wanted to replicate the album cover and to bring it to life in the video, so I made an animation in Flash with a few crosses and the Fabric logo and just projected it onto a wall in my flat mate’s room. With the help of my adventure partners Marc Regas and Zahara Gallardo we filled the room with smoke and they dressed me in white silk as I stood over a fan pretending to be creepy for the camera.
My face was also covered and there was no way for me to review the footage until we finished the whole shoot, so it was just a leap in the dark. But watching it back for the first time with the contrast pumped up was a really good feeling, it was a surprise at how it came out even better than planned. Smoke and projections are amazing companions.
The audio is Yoyo by Lee Jones, with my vocals on top.

Interview on Visao Media A nice chap called Alex Trujillo ran an interview with me for his blog Visao Media. Here it is in two parts: Part 1 and Part 2 Feels very awkward to read such an in-depth story about me, and I’m not sure who would bother reading the whole lot, but it’s exciting nonetheless!
Lydia K screened in NYC Over the next few weeks Lydia K will be shown on rotation at this open air cinema (with sound!), a project lead by Kimpton’s Eventi Hotel and the Big Screen Project.
