Oneiros - Alex Hill
The track title comes from the Ancient Greek word for dream, as it plunges the listener into a meditative and sleepy state. A 'night dream', or light in the darkness. The track was written collaboratively and features Alex Hill on piano, Jamie Stockbridge on saxophone, James Girling on electric guitar, Alasdair Simpson on electric bass and Matt Brown on drums. Oneiros is the second release by members of PARRAGADA, a community for the sharing of creative projects, ideas and approaches. To extend the collaboration, the music was sent to four different artists who all painted or sketched a visual response to it. Alice Phelps drew a series of colourful mandalas, and Suzie Richards (of Trikona Tattoos) created a unique tattoo design using symbolic floral elements. Criss Roden and Richard Kankondo filmed the creation of their artwork using oil and acrylic paint, and the footage has been made into a music video. It was edited by Dominic Pillai, a film director who has had previous work screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Work by all artists will be displayed in an online gallery on the PARRAGADA website. https://parragada.com Alex Hill - Piano Jamie Stockbridge - Saxophone James Girling - Electric Guitar Alasdair Simpson - Bass Guitar Matt Brown - Drums Composed by Alex Hill Recorded & mixed by Matt Brown Recordings Mastered by Peter Beckmann Music video edited by Dominic Pillai Artwork by Lentil Design

Charting the changing perception of Jazz, the remixed soundtrack attempts to readdress the white intellectualisation of the music and place Jazz back into its original context as Dance music.

DICHOTOMOUS FLUIDITY/binary vision (Ryan Andrew Regan/Dominic Pillai)
In June 2016 two filmmakers were diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, one based in Los Angeles and the other in Folkestone. Travelling this parallel journey has created a continuous dialogue around the themes of duality and the exploration of a new sense of identity, which has now culminated in this work In the form of a video diptych, each filmmaker has created a screen that explores this subject from two uniquely personal perspectives. Presenting the work over 5 hours in the U.K and the United States establishes an equality between both filmmakers and allows the conversation to develop further on a transatlantic scale.
