The first in a new series, Unnatural Landscapes, which focuses on California and Nevada landscapes typically scarred by (or at least deeply affected by) human work. In this case, it’s my old favourite, Owens Lake (with the LADWP playing its usual role of walk-on villain) and some unusually difficult-to-decode artificial landforms. The wonderful soundtrack is a collaboration with Garry Manley (Tactics, Popular Mechanics, Saturday Maybe), an old friend of mine in Australia, who’s basically responsible for all the music in this and most of the rest of the current series. Yes, some of this footage has appeared before, but I wanted to reuse it in a different sort of (dreamier) setting — and with a very different soundtrack (thanks Garry!) — so here it is.
