'Traum' enters the derelict landscape of the Lee Valley, London, UK, the site of the 2012 Olympics. Cut to a complex score by Isambard Khroustaliov the film proposes a way of looking through the surface of banal things to find new and surprising territories.
Music by Isambard Khroustaliov, film by Martin Hampton.

can explain your motivation for this piece a bit? How you arrived at the style and editing structure... that sort of thing.
Isambard proposed that we make a film together. I know and love his intricate but deeply emotional music, (check out differance.org/ ) so set myself some rules for the filming which I hoped would generate sufficently complex material to measure up: 1. Only tripod static shots. 2. All movement must come from wind or gravity.
The film and sound came together in what Isambard,who made the music, calls the 'Misfits' technique: We loosely discussed the structure of the piece in musical terms; ie move from an abstract, detailed beginning to an epic, pastoral ending.
The initial edits of the film and music were then done in total isolation. Most of what you now see and hear is the result of chance. We then tweaked the shot lengths so that some cuts and movement would line up with the sound. The result is what it is.
