This is an old Marshall 2×12 cab that I’d loaded with a vintage Celestion 30 and 25 speakers. I hadn’t played through it in 10 years and actually hated the sound at the time. Fast forward. It really sounds incredible. I think the difference is — at the time I was very much into PRSContinue reading “Marshall 2×12. 14 Oct 2013.”

Over Hill. 13 Oct 2013.
Over dale. This camera really has been on the dusty trail. I suspect the one coming in from Kenya will be in the same mode. It’s good to have the optionality of modes.
Musica y Muse! 12 Oct 2013.
A beautiful thing. Yep. Here — today, here tomorrow. A tailspin can be a very beautiful thing. Tailspin is dead. Long live tailspin.
Shark. 12 Oct 2012.
Shark 2013, William Vaughan Conte Crayon on paper, 40″x40″. (For Damien Hirst & TTIF Screenplay) These are a series of drawings that arose out of a screenplay that I’m currently working on. They seem to have dovetailed nicely into the mishmash frames that that will go into a gallery show in San Francisco late nextContinue reading “Shark. 12 Oct 2012.”

Politicos. 11 Oct 2013.
At present the elite consensus in the U.S. seems to be that America is on the road to recovery and the only question is which Republican will oppose Hillary Clinton in 2016. But this ignores the possibility that the destabilizing political forces we see in Europe may find equivalents in America. Having earlier avoided theContinue reading “Politicos. 11 Oct 2013.”

Gravitas. 10 Oct 2013.
We watched ‘Gravity‘ last night, Alphonso Cuaron’s new space film. From the trailer, I was expecting sort of a steroidal ‘My Dinner with Andre‘ in space suits. More philosophical and psychological. I’ve never been keen on Sandy Bullock. But what the hell, said I. Cuaron is a great director – let’s give him the benefit.Continue reading “Gravitas. 10 Oct 2013.”
RM. 10 Oct 2013.
If a screenwriter fails to move us with the purity of a dramatized scene, he cannot, like a novelist in authorial voice, or the playwright in soliloquy, hide behind his words. He cannot smooth a coating of explanatory or emotive language over cracks in logic, blotchy motivation, or colorless emotion and simply tell us whatContinue reading “RM. 10 Oct 2013.”
