lo-fi — ZEAL

as promised, a brand spanking new track from my upcoming album. download and share to your hearts content.

Zeal-Wasps.mp3

Wasps was sampled and sequenced on a PS2 using this software and some of the lyrics were borrowed from a Benny Hinn song.

It’s been picked up by New Weird Australia vol. 3, a way cool compilation of interesting Australian music. CHECK IT!

and Rose Quartz picked it up almost instantly and said nice things like “this new Zeal track is some cool fucking shit.” READ!

spent the last two weeks finishing my new album. i don’t think i’ve mentioned what’s it’s going to be called yet… i don’t think i will now either. but i will moon soon. a few tracks are mastered and i’m being a one man CD duplication factory this very second, pumping out a small pile of cd singles. feels like we should have been done with these lumbering circular plastic things 5 years ago. catch up radio! next step, artwork. it’s quite exciting. you’ll like the album, i promise. it makes mention of robots a few times and there’s this three note refrain that’s sprinkled through out the 15 or so tracks which all weave together. it’s almost a concept album… just with a poorly defined concept… more of a unproven hypothesis album.

also on the work bench, for all you unfortunate souls, i’m getting AXIS up and running on windows… i say that but really xp’s alright. the windows versions going to be minus a few small features just because of the way the windows drivers interpret the guitar (or unless someone else can fix it). this is one big step closer to release meaning it will be out before the years up.

i’ve been making stickers too. as i promised: robots and swear words. if you want one you have two options. the hard way: print out the above robot on sticker paper and cut it out. or the super easy way: enter my EP + sticker give away! there’s four days left and it’s super easy.

back to the assembly line for me.

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.

coach is now up in all it’s HD glory! well… almost. it’s 1280×720 and it was shot at 1920×1080… but you can can see that version when i release it on holodisc when that exists.
bobob.

another new clip in the works. this one will involve aerial video and possibly toy cars…
i’ll post a less foggy explanation soon, along with news on all the other stuff that’s in the pipeline: new album! midi guitar hero application! fun new merch! weeeee!
