Jon Weinel – Mezcal Animations #1-3 (4:00)
Mezcal Animations is a piece of visual music with electroacoustic sound. I use a technique called ‘direct animation’, which involves applying paint, ink and other materials directly to standard 8mm film. While continuing to explore similar altered states of consciousness aesthetics as my previous works, in my own way, the piece is a tribute to Oaxaca’s International Mezcal Festival of 2012.
