close your eyes up tight, you will not sleep tonight (2013) directed and scored by Carlos Soto single-channel HD video projection, 17 minute loop The piece utilizes a 1965 Mustang convertible as a mobile mount for a camera that catalogues quiet, nighttime streets in the countryside. Accompanied by the melodic, blues-infused drawl of an electric guitar, the visuals transition slowly from shots of treetops passing overhead to lyrical images taken from with- in the car. The film pulls the viewer through space and in the direction of the car’s motion in an effect produced by keen frame-rate manipulation and prolonged dissolves. Created in residency at the Willem De Kooning Studio in Springs, NY; exhibited at Pace Gallery, NY in September, 2013 _______ FOLLOW LIPSapp Smooth Radio _______ FB: r-js/1wsLIZx / TW: r-js/1wsLDoS / Listen to LIPSapp Smooth Radio r-js/1dOIQ18 #jazz #blues #randb #mariahcarey #tonibraxton #tedeschitrucks #davekoz #boneyjames
