"Saucerful of Secrets" is a series of short films originally shot on 8mm film using a russian clockwork Quarz 5 camera in London, 1969. Various experimental techniques were tried in the camera or during editing, such as stop-frame, multiple exposure, reverse-motion, etc. The films were edited to some of my favourite music of the time.
The other videos are mainly slide shows of various holidays, including many adventures on our various sailing boats, set to a favourite piece of music, sometimes composed or played by me.

This Easter I joined a group of stalwarts from Software Sciences took a pair of camping narrowboats around the Cheshire Ring, starting and ending at Middlewich. Though mist and rain beset the start, there were some sunny moments later and lots to photograph. Enjoy the reminiscence! America cover by Ramblin' Jack Smith

A film about an exhibition, "Environmental Audio Research Systems", that took place in Croydon, August 1969, courtesy of "Pavilions in the Parks", a wide ranging event organised by Su Braden, Jos Tilson and Ann. The electronic sculptures, made by myself, were meant to be played and interact with the visitors, mainly children, I'm pleased to say. I controlled the sound levels, stereo, mixing, ec...

A Saucer Full of Secrets - Part 3 - Exmoor
I first heard Umagumma in Crouch End back in 1977. I was intrigued and still am. Great vintage footage.
Just wondering, do you have any more photos taken around the same area from around this time, in particular Rowley Regis? Wonderful video. It sort of influenced a piece of electronic music that I wrote for one of my musical projects.
great photos 5 *
Great photos, I still remember many of these places from the early 70 seventies.
Great pictures, best viewed with the sound turned off though
8MM forever.
drugs are fun
Amazing pictures! You should think about taking that old camera and making some more films.
Pink Floyd man ;)
No,don't use drugs...just LISTEN.... This music makes me feel connected to eternity...I can't explain it...it really IS probably what it would be like to be aboard a UFO. Perhaps one of the most important musical selections of all time. Should be heard in stereo if possible!
