Daniel R. Mitchell Multi-media Works

These are works that combine photography, video and electronic music composition. Some are simply for entertainment, but some have a spiritual message.

The files are compressed Windows Media files (.WMV) and require Windows Media Player, WinAmp or similar program. The .WMV files are reduced to 320x240 image size and compressed to save space and download time. Thus they are limited in resolution, but good enough to watch on the computer.

The video is produced using Photodex ProShow. The music is produced using CSound software synthesis program and some score pre-processor software that I wrote.

Drum samples used on some pieces are from Jim Dooley.
