If you've ever wondered what hypercubes, aka tesseracts, are all about, then this is a good music video for you. If you have no idea what I'm talking about and you don't care for geometry, maybe you should watch this anyway, just to be weird and learn something new. The music incorporates quintuplets, i.e. notes divided into 5 beats. It's actually all in 4/4 at 150 bpm. Video: Tesseracts 101. Music: "The New Quintuplet Swing" (2021).

Music: "Funky Night" (2021 single, previously unreleased). Video: Tesseract Out. It's a rolling tesseract making its way through the clouds and across the stars, folks.

I was on hold with a local car company, when suddenly I realized something.

Music: "A Mix of the Best of Music for Art of the Other Wheel" (2015/2021). Video: It's a spinning, semi-transparent color wheel just making its way through space, what's up. The songs were originally commissioned for use as background entertainment at an art show titled "Art of the Other Wheel", which took place September 25th & 26th, 2015 at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space in Springfield, Illinois. I've stirred them up here into one mix.

Obviously this is heavily in favor of the rights of nonhuman animals, who I believe are individuals and should generally be considered sentient. Most video footage in this is public domain, including the moments from the movie It's a Wonderful Life. No copyright infringement intended. The music is "Primitive Culture", a song from my 2020 EP Got 2 Rock. I sample the movie Star Trek: First Contact in it. Marina Sirtis delivers the refrain in reference to 21st century human culture being "primitive". (Okay, that's a big slam on all of us, people.) No copyright infringement intended here either. This video is public domain and may be used without permission from me for any purposes. Please share. Zoochosis is real and too common. Look it up. Just because you don't know about it (yet) doesn't mean it's not happening. Get and stay informed. EMPTY CAGES WORLDWIDE!

All things. Music: "Pursuant". Sources are public domain. Bee nice.

I agree with the street, and I'm trying to eat.

Wizzy has a lot to consider with Inchy.

Composed of ten pieces of music and a series of 70 still frame photos of light through glass, this video was part of an art installation on display at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space DREAMSCAPE show, May 31st and June 1st, 2019.

An original song, titled "Not for Sale", performed live at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space in Springfield, Illinois, June 2018.

Wouldn't you know it?

FUN WITH SCENES from the 1986 movie SpaceCamp.

My kid and I made a music video.

Silent video. I ran this on repeat (along with the two other silent videos here) on a 47" 4K video monitor at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space for the Artext art show, which was August 9th and 10th, 2019.

Minstrel
by Bridget Foley Russell

Give me a song
I feel lost
Give me a song
I want to be transported
Give me a song
I can breathe
Give me a song
I am surrounded by silence
Give me a song
I need reassurance
Give me a song
I crave your touch
Give me a song
I am complete
Give me a song
I am home.

This is a playlist of videos I made in 2018 using a ton of crazy public domain stuff I found. These were commissioned for and projected at the 2018 Dark Arts show, which was currated by Staunzie Grady and took place at Arlignton's Restaurant in Springfield, Illinois.

I made the music used in this drone video by Dave Heinzel for The Studio Show.

Performing on The Studio Show in 2016.

Music video Vincent Sebastian made for one of my pieces of music of the same title.

In which I read my essay "So Long, So Long Ago". Video produced by NPR Illinois 99.1 UIS.

Forty or so minute set of several music pieces, 2017. Video produced by MacombEvents.

Windsor for the Derby's song "WNYU Radio" set to scenes of I-55 in Illinois.

Electro-Faustus EF102 Photo Theremin running through wah-wah pedal. Visualization by Rovastar+Geiss (Snapshot Of Space [LSB mix]). This song made it onto the 2014 Just Sign on the Dotted Line various artists compilation CD put out by Electro-Faustus.

I went back in time 150 million years and recorded this with binaural microphones. Two sauropods are talking to each other across a lake while many other dinosaurs occasionally call out. Three at once start out the recording. Listen with headphones to get the full effect.

It's not completely lifeless. That's all. Cheap, I know. (If this is blocked for you, it's not my bad.)

In silent form, this video was used in a projector installation during a show of women’s fabric art. The show, titled Draw Near, featured the works of two artists (Wendy Allen and Carol Bridges) as well as a sacred space by artist Chery Miller. The show took place April 22nd and 23rd, 2016 at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space in Springfield, Illinois. The audio in this video was also commissioned for the show. It was played in the background during the event along with other long passages of ambient music. Thus, this video is a sort of "best of" Draw Near.

This video was projected on a wall at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space for the "NEO • SURREALISM - Third Eye Opening" art exhibition opening, which took place November 13th and 14th, 2015. "Cottonwood" layer supplied by Robert Schafer Photography.

This video was installed on an iPad which was placed in a picture frame. The frame was hung on the wall at The Pharmacy Gallery & Art Space during the "NEO • SURREALISM - Third Eye Opening" art exhibition opening. The audio was sent wirelessly to a small teacup-shaped speaker placed on a pedastal below the frame.

This began as gift for my brother in 2009; I gave it to him then as a short screen saver for his PC. The animation you see here was produced in 2014, partly using Starry Night Pro 6. Song title: "Lives of the Bloated Gas Giant Suns" (2007). The scene is actually what it would sort of be like to stand on Triton and watch Neptune in the sky--sped up over the course of two months Earth-time, of course.
