The short film that Matthew Hammond and I made in collaboration while self-isolating can now be seen as part of Strangelove Time-based Media Festival. Our film – and many other great pieces – can be watched in Screen 1 on Strangelove’s website, curated by Chris Meigh-Andrews.. “457 dyadic and triadic” is the combination of my visual experiments with paint and liquids and Matthew’s improvised music piece, which we hope you enjoy. You can also leave comments on the festival’s website and even show us your love for the film by tapping or clicking that heart below the video 💙

A collaborative film created from their shared home while self isolating, the film experiments with paint, liquids and different densities to generate haphazardly moving abstractions. The moving images were recorded by Cristina Pedreira after Matthew Hammond’s music piece. 457 dyadic and triadic is an improvised piece using a self-designed scale based on a just intonation tuning system. Just intonation tuning uses musical intervals that are wholly based on the natural harmonic series, and using scales based on them allows access to intervals and sound colours that don’t exist in the standard equally-tempered Western tuning system.
