ROUTEMASTER REMIX PROJECT LIVE – De Luxe DVD +Book is a freeze-frame-street-poetry montage of speed and a multiple-camera-angle recording of a multimedia concert at the Avanto festival, where Wieslaw Pogorzelski, Jim McKee and Merzbow performed their versions of the Routemaster soundtrack live. The final DVD image mix is created by the viewer using the remote control.

Routemaster – Theatre of the Motor is a rhythmic mosaic about speed and human cadavers that have been used in crash tests. It is a montage of rhythmically organized repetitions and involves an abstraction of motion that merges the subject with the film material. Routemaster is a film that resembles a live concert and creates a real physical experience.

Routemaster is available with three different soundtrack San Francisco, London and Tokyo mixes, which are used to investigate the effects of the geographical environment on the audio interpretation of the visual material.

The De Luxe DVD +Book also includes the official Los Angeles Mix: Scorcher, an aria written by Harry Gamboa Jr specially for the Routemaster film.
