Tale Chase

Lastly Tale Chase not really a part of the Apostrophe S project but a collaboration with Andrew Fitzpatrick, made around the same time as the GOTH pilot (1986/7). What is interesting looking back at the piece now is the way in which the video is edited in an almost scratch style to the echoes and repeats in the music. A few of the visual motifs (compasses, maps, etc) also were not unlike some of those in Apostrophe S.
