..I met Sarah Angliss, performing with Spacedog on her Theremin a piece called Stooky Bill

I was interested in the links between Sarah's Theremin performance, her interest in early electronic sound and my interpretation of Loie Fuller's Serpentine Dance from the 1890's. At about the same time in history these activities were exciting audiences with the mystery of science and the illusion/sound of new cybotic future possibilities.
I have since filmed Sarah performing on the Theramin alongside a backing track from Willow's Song (Whicker Man). I have now edited the two films together to make a new piece to be screened at the Latitude Festival's Big Screen in the woods on the 16th July.
