The double exposure in Self Portrait a serendipitous accident caused by the incorrect loading of the film in the camera in such a way that the second half of the roll was exposed through the back of the film, running in reverse and upside-down.

Virgin 'regular' 8mm film was actually 16mm wide. It was run once through the camera exposing half the film along one edge. Then the roll was reversed and run through the camera again, exposing the other half, along the other edge. On that occasion, I moved the roll from the take-up spindle to the feed spindle without turning it over. When the film came back from the lab I was distraught at my mistake. Only many years later did I see the beauty of that accident.

The music *Tabla Sinestra* is done with the tight hand playing the left hand drum and vice versa, hence the name. I turned it in, instead of a paper, a homework assignment in my Freshman year at CalArts Music School for a course called Music Cultures of the World. To my surprise, Nick England, the professor, actually accepted it and gave me a grade.
