i’ve upped my new show reel. enjoy: you might have noticed footage from the cuba is japan clip. it’s the first time it’s graced the intertrons and it may actually be completed sometime in the near future. ooh, tantalising eh? for something not so completely different… i’m playing in adelaide next saturday! poster:
this site is going to be revamped in preperation for the launch of the new album so prep those eyeballs for some amazement. but for now… go watch this.
so it took almost exactly a year to write and record and now my next album “with the moon alongside racing us home” is mixed! complete! done! finito! pung! bahoogled! i made a lot of those words up, feel free to use them (CC non-profit, attribution, share-alike). now all this mixing’s done i’m focusing on my live show and getting axis out into the world. i’m also enjoying playing with max for live as an audio visual environment. getting sensors to the party is the next step i think… like some sort of reactive audio-visual “thingy”. artwork for the album has to be done too… might start on that now. bob out. The Agnes Kain clip is finished! I’m very happy with the end result. There are no effects in post, everything was shot in camera… which is probably obvious right up until the end. You can check out my previous posts to see how it was made from conception to birth. Big thanks to Chanelle and Stef and ultra-mega-big thanks to Ryan for wearing ridiculous things, standing in uncomfortable poses for extended periods of time and just being generally rad. i threw together a little max patch to convert a cheapo keypad into a midi controller (a bit like this one i made a little while back). these little things are great. got me thinking, what the hell did we do before usb? in other news, the Agnes Kain clip is finished! i’ll send it live in the next few days. now that’s done i’m back into music mode gluing together bits and pieces to finish my NEW ALBUM. some gigs lined up too… zeal reemerges from the makey-cave to obliterate your senses!
a few little scenes left to shoot and edit and then that’s a wrap. it’s pretty exciting to see how the clip’s turning out, especially seeing how it’s evolved from the original idea. i’m animating the clip “in camera” with no effects in post. it moves a lot of the problems that usually need to be solved from inside a computer out into the real world where they’re easier to deal with. mainly because in the real world every single problem can be solved with gaff tape. ryan the birdman agrees.
winter’s the best but the weather’s been holding back shooting on the agnes kain clip again. i’ve been working on everything that can be done inside out of the way of the falling sky water which luckily includes experimenting with projected backgrounds – parallels are cropping up between the agnes clip and the cuba is japan clip again. planning a big rear projection shoot this week. should be a sort of scaled up, person size version of what’s going on down there. i’ll be sure to post something about it. for the moment i’m setting up the mini version…
