Spaced Out - Multimedia

"Just You" is a mesmerizing song by the Milk and Honey Band. The band is essentially made up of Robert White, a guitarist/keyboard player formerly with the frazzled psychedelic band Levitation from 1989 to 1993. Robert's latest CD is "Dog Eared Moonlight" (Ape Records) that includes the "Just You" track. "Perhaps it's a scary thought that we're all floating about the cosmos in a random fashion with absolutely no-one looking after us," writes Robert. "Perhaps that's why we need to look after each other a little more and not simply leave it in the hands of a being that may or may not exist." He shot the video during a 2005 road trip he took with his wife, Jan, through California, Nevada and Arizona.

"Ojos en llamas," 2008
Length: 7:04
Hand-treated 8mm film
By Magdalena Jitrik
Music by Sterling Roswell

Magdalena Jitrik is an Argentinian artist who works with over and under exposed 8mm film, treating it by hand with bleach, paint and marker pens. Her work has echoes of 1960s psychedelia: the multi-media environments of USCO, the non-narrative "Expanded Cinema" of Stan Brakhage and Jordan Belson, the in-motion paintings of Tony Martin and Bill Ham, but these blobs and colors have a completely different meaning in the 21st Century. Choosing to work with film emulsion during the dog days of digitalia is an oddly oblique but original move and we are happy to be featuring Magdalena's "Ojos en llamas" here on Spaced Out, the on-line commune. - AG
