Short Film - Death Cake

I found this weird video on youtube today..  'Death Cake' and abstract short film about murder, told through the filming of this interpretive cake assault.... kind of thing. This is probably better suited to the stoners among us

What's There To Hide #3

My mother died this week. I am devastated.. very sad. She was only 47...

I thought I would be reacting far more than I am, and given my fascination with death and the conspicuous references to grief and sadness and loss I seem to sprinkle on my songs like chilli flakes, I though this time would be the worst time of my life. However, I have in fact not found it so!

I am posting again about 'What's There To Hide?' because when I first referenced it, back in October, I was only just coming to terms with the fact that my mother was probably going to die - she has been battling cancer for nearly 3 years.

It was the energy of the sadness and grief I finally allowed myself to connect with back in October that led me to create the seeds of this piece on that very night.

I find it strange that I stumbled across the folder containing this work only two weeks ago and on the spur of the moment I began work once more on the piece. I instantly felt that grief and sadness I had embedded in the work on that dark October night returning (and healthily so, as it it mirrored exactly the real life situation of my mother - who as I now know, had already started dying)

Within a week she was gone and now I feel it's most important I channel my true and physical grief into the piece. I'm finding this process most healing....

I have big plans for this work and all that I have mentioned in previous posts is still relevant, I just dramatically misjudged the time-frame as the piece has clearly taken on a life of it's own and will not be adhering to my plans for it.

Lullaby For Lilly Tooth

I have just finished a short film/music video that I have been working on for two or three days. "Lullaby For Lilly Tooth" began forming itself in June of this year, when I woke one morning at my family home in Corofin, Co. Galway with the line "how did it feel when you interviewed my teeth?".
I had no idea why or what it was meant to mean or anything, but I was very excited by it and started brainstorming. I didn't think to much about the script, it just sorta was there..
I think teeth are pretty amazing, the are one of the strongest parts of the body and keep us alive day after day by facilitating the ingestion of food. Many animals use their teeth to threaten.. and to kill! Yet we use our teeth to express joy, to make people feel at ease and also as a symbol of status and beauty. Teeth can last for thousands and thousands of years, buried deep in the ground and holding secrets of civilization who went before - yet if mistreated as part of the living organism they belong to, can melt away to nothing but an invisible root in no more than a year.
Teeth rot from the inside out with the potential to maintain the external facade of beauty and health yet inside they can be harboring rotten, black, disintegrating flesh.
I don't know of any other part of the body that can be rotting away for years without killing you.

I am very interested in how two opposing things can be running simultaneously in the same body, either physically or psychologically. Like the way a rotting tooth can look healthy when it's dying or dead. People who are super charismatic performers and revel in the lights of the stage be the most cripplingly shy individuals in normal life... weird!
Things are never what we think..

We use smiles as a tool for deception and although this might sound silly, I am glad to be developing a frown line in between my eyebrows because I rather be frowning when unhappy than pretending things are fine with a smile that is untrue.
Anyways, I don't trust them too much any more and I want to get beyond the pearly whites to the rotting flesh underneath! Body Rotten.

here is my little video..
