Travelling is a live electronic video piece which integrates the fixed audio/visual content from a self-made film with a stream of live broadcast radio, which serves as a diegetic sound source.
Particular gestures in the film serve as synchronisation points to alter parameters of the radio stream, such as tuning and volume. This parameter alteration is handled by a MIDI-controlled radio specially built for the piece.
This reliance on a live stream that cannot be known in advance makes every viewing of Travelling unique whilst also timeless, part of a perpetual present. It is dedicated to all those long car journeys taken with the radio on.
Stars Monty Adkins as driver.
