Why is this called One? Because it’s a project that started with one idea: Put one lens on one camera and go out one afternoon in search of one subject to photograph. Then, using only one purely analog synthesizer (capable of playing only one note at a time with but one oscillator), compose a complete score. Combine that score with the photos to create slightly over one minute’s worth of brow-furrowing trippy madness. Release it to the world on day one of the new year, and see if one person, somewhere, anywhere, actually enjoys the result…

ABOUT THESE PHOTOS: Everything was shot with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 using an Olympus 60mm macro lens. All sound design was done on an Arturia MiniBrute analog synthesizer, and recorded one-note-at-a-time into a multitrack recorder — old school, early-1970’s synth-pioneer style.
