Song of the Night 3 mins 45 secs UHD Video 2025

Song of the Night is a short animated poem, following Wishbone the Cat on his search through the city of Barcelona in search of his friend, the poet. It was made with a young audience in mind.

The images were generated in Midjourney, adjusted in Photoshop and animated in Kling. The music is by Serge Quadrado.

Threadbones 10 mins UHD Video 2025

Perched on a floating island, a secret world hums with quiet ritual. Its fabric inhabitants, stitched from patchwork, hessian and thread, bustle through strange customs, running machines, baking, dancing and whispering in a mysterious language.

As dusk settles, they gather in the village square. A choir sings a haunting aria, children clutch balloons and couples wander past glowing shopfronts down to the waterfront. The film unfolds like a silent observer, unable to explain this hypnotic world of dream logic.

Waltz of the Ragspines 3 mins 37 secs UHD 2025

In the hour before the moon climbs high, bugles call from the rooftops and drums answer from the alleys. Doors creak open, and the ragspine folk drift toward the square, pulled as if by an invisible thread. Faces glow in the lamplight, stitched eyes fixed on the rising stage.

Then the waltz begins. Every hand, gloved or bare, finds another. Every step sends a ripple through the cobblestones, until the whole town sways in one long breath, skirts whirling, boots stamping, shadows turning like clockwork gears.

The dancers part for the solos. Out of the crowd emerge players with contraptions of brass and wood, barrel organs that spit whistles, groans, and sighs. Melodies stumble and leap, strange and crooked, tumbling over each other in the night air.

And at last, the chimes. Hung from ladders, doorframes and the ear of a patchwork rodent, they sway in a slow wind. The tones fall into place—accidental yet inevitable—until one voice rises above them: the Songstress of Sadness. A thin thread of sound gathers every joy, every loss and knots the town together in the dark.

The Ragspine Circus 3 mins 13 secs UHD 2025

The Ragspine Circus drifts into view beneath its tattered tent, a dream stitched together from scraps and shadows. A lion stitched from pale velvet roars, gothic clowns ride hippos as Ragspine creatures bounce on coloured balls. At the heart of it all, an enigmatic Victorian princess, pale as porcelain, surveys the spectacle with a gaze that is both regal and otherworldly. Presiding over this uncanny menagerie, the master of ceremonies juggles blazing torches, each arc of fire drawing the motley crowd of Threadbone and Ragspine creatures deeper into a performance where marvel slides easily into menace, and every stitch holds the promise of unraveling.
