EXIT A PENDULUM
This Award winning 16mm. experimental short film began as a series of abstract music track's written, recorded and performed by Dave Dale and Mick Hanson. The idea was to then combine these tracks using several tape recorders (reel to reel and cassette), into new combinations of sound. Inspired by how well this worked, a larger tracking studio was booked in order to assemble the various music clips into a cohesive multitrack recording which when mixed, became the soundtrack for Exit a Pendulum.
