Nyman's music. Your film.
Working with Michael Nyman and Shooting People we’ve made a track available for free and launched a competition for film makers.
The track being made available is an edit of ‘The Embrace’ and ‘Lost and Found’ and comes from ‘The Piano’. Members, who use the track and upload the resulting film to Shooting People by 12 August 2009, will have a chance to win a personal endorsement from Nyman, as well as a training package valued at £750 from the Frontline Club. As a judge – and a filmmaker himself - Nyman will be looking for the most creative and original use of his soundtrack. Entries are open from 1 June – 31 July, and the winner will be announced 19 August 2009. -
Back to back with Michael Nyman
Michael & I will be DJ-ing on May 22 at the Walpurgis Night Hendrick’s Halloween Ball Part 1 at The Bridge, Weston Street, London SE1, located in the mysterious tunnels beneath London Bridge.
Run by The Last Tuesday Society, founded in the 1870s and devoted to ‘exploring and furthering the esoteric, literary and artistic aspects of life in London and beyond‘, the ball is one of a series of irregular parties held to celebrate significant dates in the calendar and guests are asked to come ‘beautifully dressed’. -

Michael Nyman's new website is up and running
Having worked with Michael over the last couple of years curating his personal videos for exhibitions worldwide, it was time to redesign his website. It shows clips of all Michael’s video art pieces and is an archive for his musical works. You can even download a track for free to use on your own films. I worked on this (and many other websites) with designer Tim Harbour.
