Making music has been quite slowgoing these past few months, but at least I have managed to finish some songs.
Incidentally, these 3 tracks are all part of compilations: “An Android’s Lament” is part of the semi-regular Monome Community Remix Project, now in it’s 9th run; “I’m Not Triangle” is my contribution to the second compilation CD my friends have released, and in support of their We Are Triangle Pop-Up Shop; and “RMS 9.0″ is again a Monome Community release, this time a benefit album to encourage donations for Japan.
A fellow monomer friend from Spain called Bite (also check out his awesome music here has made a beautiful video using “An Android’s Lament” as music source. Really liking it a lot! Best viewed on higher resolutions:
Also, this from a few months back, Charlie Visnic of The B-Roll (who has recently finished his year-long creative thing a day project – congrats!) used my music again on one of his daily projects.
I’ve said it many times but I just want to say again that I am honored to have these very creative people notice my music and use them!
My first EP! It’s also a way of testing how to mix/master a set of songs to make them sound coherent. Can’t say I achieved that goal, but I did learn a thing or two about better mixing and mastering.
Big big thanks to my co-collaborator Donna Macalino, who wrote some of the songs with me, and great fellers Charlie Visnic and Adrian Arcega for the album cover!
My first try at time lapse photography. I used my old DSLR and manually activated the shutter every 5 seconds or so. It’s a menial activity but it works when there’s long stretches when I need to think.
Here’s a couple of videos whose makers were kind enough to use my music. First is fellow monomer Charlie Visnic on one of his “Creative Thing a Day” projects, which gives me a lot of inspiration. Check out his blog: The B-Roll
It’s a really nice feeling when people say they like your work, and even much nicer when they use it for their own projects. Thanks a lot Charlie and Malcolm!
