Telcosystems - Crosslinx (Netherlands, 2006, 9 mins)

A special screening of 2006 work Crosslinx, which was nominated for the Tiger Awards Short Film prize at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam.

Semiconductor - Inaudible Cities : Part 1 (2002, 7 mins)

The first in a series of short films where cities are made of and controlled by sound. In this episode, every detail of an urban landscape is built by the sonic pressures of an oncoming electrical storm. The very fabric of this isolated world is defined by the noises and frequencies that surround a space in another aural dimension. Semiconductor wrote a program which listens to the various parts of the soundtrack and constructs the animated environments.

Semiconductor/ Mum - Green Grass Of Tunnel (2002, 5 mins)

'Green Grass Of Tunnel' is a music promo for Icelandic band Mum. Inspired by the mysterious terrain where the music was made and remodelling the very lighthouse and valley they lived in.

Semiconductor - A-Z Of Noise (1999, 1:20)

A sound recording of the 20th century played in 60 seconds.

Semiconductor - The Sound of Microclimates (2004, 8 mins)

The Sound of Microclimates reveals the sights and sounds of a series of unusual weather patterns in the Paris of today. Here, architecture has become interwoven with the natural processes of the geographical landscape. Set within the un-noticed moments in time, extreme microclimates are presented as the future in city accessories, revealing the unseen urban terrains of tomorrow. Each microclimatic intervention has its own audible frequencies, where the sound from each environment animates the movement and reveals each sites unique narrative.

Semiconductor /QT - Digital Anthrax (2001, 1 min)

Digital life is born into a pixel world where viruses battle it out for the survival of the fittest. Audio: QT 'qqq'

Semiconductor - All The Time In The World (2005, 5 mins)

Presented as a fictional documentary, All the Time in The World sees the millions of years that have shaped and formed the land, played out at the speed of sound. Semiconductor have reanimated Northumbria's epic landscape using data recordings from the archives at the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh. This data of local and distant seismic disturbances has been converted to sound and used to reveal and bring to life the constantly shifting geography around us.

Semiconductor - 200 Nanowebbers (2005, 3 mins)

For '200 Nanowebbers', Semiconductor have created a molecular web that is generated by Double Adaptor�s live soundtrack. Using custom-made scripting, the melodies and rhythms spawn a nano scale environment that shifts and contorts to the audios resonances. Layers of energetic hand drawn animations, play over the simplest of vector shapes that form atomic scale associations. As the landscape flickers into existence by the light of trapped electron particles, substructures begin to take shape and resemble crystalline substances.
