Soundtrack: 'Seduisant Lollipop' by Sindri & Otto Von Schirach

This short teaser / promo was composed more as a visionary play instead of a factual documentation. It illustrates Goat Milk festival (2012), the participants and the people from the village of Gorna Bela Rechka, Northen Bulgaria. It reveals the diversity of that region: facets of faces, places, atmosphere, cultural events, organic food and live music. There is a special focus on the festival's theme that year - The Abandoned Northwest and the way how we saw it through our cameras' lenses.

Sound: JODI sound recording
This short video sequence entitled JODI@STDLJK The Opening Titles consists of 1475 composed images. The mesh assembles text strings, sound extract, together with images taken during the actual performance, screen shots provided by the artists themselves and images found on Internet.
Eventually everything is (re)mixed, shuffled around in immersive audio-visual glimpse of what might be my subjective interpretation on the performance instead of what an opening titles are usually used for as a precursor of the actual performance.
