Dean Chalkley - New Perspectives

Hello everyone, I just thought you might like to see my new film from the New Perspectives project. 

On 3rd and 4th August 2021, 6 musicians came together for the first time, the aim was to create an original piece of music in a short period of time. This film reflects the two day writing and recording session, elements of the subsequent mixing and mastering at Durham Sound Studios and The Exchange, together with vignettes of the musicians filmed around London.

The musicians are Amané Suganami, Andre Laville, Kitty Liv Durham, Lewis Durham, Nick Corbin and Solomon Douglas. They named the collective Phono 48 and entitled their composition ‘So Pure’.

I presented an exhibition of photography and screened this film over a 10 day period at the Museum of Youth Culture in Shaftesbury Avenue London between the 17th -27th Feb. 

To accompany the exhibition I released a Journal publication too, like the 12" single available through the Big AC website.
