LUNACY released on DVD

  Lunacy, the unofficial “follow-up” to my film Sub Umbra Alarum Luna, was released on DVD on July 11th by Swedish distributor Njutafilms. It’s a beautiful release that not only contains the film but also 12 bonus films/”cine poems” that Vanessa Sinclair and I have made over the past two years.  “LUNACY is the moon-romantic follow-up to Carl Abrahamsson’s film SUB UMBRA ALARUM LUNA from 2016 (also available from Trapart). Where SUB UMBRA was a specific honouring of Derek Jarman’s IN THE SHADOW OF THE SUN (1975, with music by Throbbing Gristle 1980), LUNACY journeys deeper into the lunar energies specifically inspiring witchcraft.

Trapart Film’s YouTube channel expands

  The best things in life are free? Perhaps or perhaps not, but there’s no denying that YouTube has a great potential and also actual outreach. That’s why Trapart Film expands on YouTube. I’d much rather have people watch my films for free than make very little money now and then on VOD. So now I’ll be uploading documentaries and art films alike for your viewing pleasure. Not the most recent films – they must at least be given a chance to recoup some of the costs. But films that have been around for a year or more you’ll be able to find on the YouTube channel. There’s a lot of stuff there already. And people certainly seem to appreciate the films: The Genesis Breyer P-Orridge documentary Change Itself has been watched 1500 times in only 48 hours… Enjoy! And please feel free to spread the word/link! Thanks! Trapart Film’s YouTube channel is right HERE! If you appreciate this and would like to support our present and future work...

A new album/collaboration with Akoustik Timbre Frekuency

  Some time ago, I sent some recorded poems/texts to sound wizard Akoustik Timbre Frekuency in the UK. We had worked before on some tracks for compilations, so I knew it’d be good. The result of our collaboration has just been released by Highbrow Lowlife, and it’s also available all over the digisphere. The album is called Heated Wanderlust And Then Some, and I’m pretty certain you’re going to enjoy it… Here’s also a first video from the album, shot by Vanessa Sinclair in New York: EXIST.   Carl Abrahamsson & Akoustik Timbre Frekuency: EXIST from Carl Abrahamsson on Vimeo.
