Richard Bone’s “Short Waves: 12 Brief Excursions Into Surreal Video” combines the moods and rhythms of today’s ambient electronica and matches it with 12 impressionistic videos each ranging between two and three minutes. The idea was to create 12 concise pieces that capture the viewer’s imagination but then, like an elusive dream, are gone. Some pieces are dark such as Delonyka with it’s menacing eyes peering into the soul. While others are more up beat, like the jazzy trees of the DVD’s opener Arboratora. Each of “Short Waves” 12 videos are unique with the whole being even greater than the sum of it’s parts. Pressing ‘repeat play’ is an inevitable outcome! The limited edition CD is the soundtrack to the DVD combined with extended bonus versions of 4 of the tracks. The moods range from dark and foreboding to more upbeat and jazzy. Influences as varied as Harold Budd & Bob James can easily be heard.
