passages of october (w/ the hardy tree)

see This film travels through a dour stretch of London October with a few garish last autumn colours – “this fabrication of autumn roses” – in mostly grey wetlands. The soundtrack, by The Hardy Tree, is from an album on the seasons of bygone London, Through Passages of Time (Clay Pipe Music), and has an upbeat, pastel wistfulness; music box tones in one speaker, woodwinds in the other, and a long spectral whistle. The toy-like melodic templates re-play as the film filters between the almost kitsch of the red deer rut and the ebbing light of grey willows.
