Fresh baked from the kitchen
Ladies and Gents, I’ve been in the lab cooking up some fantastic treats.
For hours a day, in May and June, I had the pleasure of working with Andy Moyer on some great trip-hop, break-beat tracks. We spent insane hours and produced, from scratch, a 65 and 95 bpm journey into cyber sex and woodland wonder. These tracks available here.
ABAT - C.Y.B.E.R.S.E.XABAT - (untitled)
I’ve also completed 6 mixed media paintings, one of which was accepted into the Berks Art Alliance, Jured exhibition. This piece is on display at the Goggle Works (Reading, Pa) for the months of July and August.
I will post picks from the Goggle Works exhibit soon.
In short, The past months have been very productive.
WASHER AT THE FORD music video coming soon!!!
The band Gloominous Doom loved the “Death Roll” music video so much they asked me to produce and direct yet another. The newest video will be for there hit song ‘Washer at the Ford’
Washer… is a story about a fella named John O’mally and his downward spiral into alcoholism and self destruction. The “washer” a ghostly preminition appears washing his clothing , foreshadowing his death.
The Gloom Doom wants a black and white video similar to Nosferatu, (a movie about Dracula) with a comedic but serious story line. They also wanted the story to take place in the 1800’s so finding the proper clothing, location and “environmental elements” was crucial.
“WE” filmed all the footage at Gring’s Mill, a historic property along the Tulpelhocken river on the outskirts of Reading, with “Mr. one take” Chris Leslie as John O’mally and “Mama Flow” Mrs Rohdes as The Washer.
I’m working with Andy Moyer again as editor.
