acoustic

sometimes i hate the loss of electric.

these days i appreciate that loss.



for what i can tell, i will have a room mate until she decides i smell too bad, so i am stuck without any of my amps or guitars since they are in a pile in the room.

so out comes some 5 string guitars that i can play acoustically. soon my kids, there will be music soon.

also talking to 2 of my best kiddies and planning on starting something up.

something fancy.

you'll all be so proud

songs

a song a day is what is keeping a psychiatrist at bay

laserbeams

well, another day and another drain.

a friend of mine is looking to be a director, so i think that this may very well have to be a completely constructed project. totally free of other perspectives but our own.

me = audio

he = visual

we = movie

art for arts sake i think is the idea here

0% sales. 0% sellable. 100% free film.

hm

severe lull in activity

as the project gets closer and closer to initial launch phase, I get busy.

relationships, my mother's new floor, new cat.

tons of tasty distractions from what is at hand.

..... i think its a movie now....

it ends up that no one has created something enough like me to make any sense. so might just have to make it on my own.

....

sweet.

echoecho

i always have as much echo on my guitar as possible

reverb, analog, digital, looping; they all really do the job of getting yourself to sound about 10 million times bigger than you are.

but the final question comes down, what is the best for the job out there?

tap tempo?
tape delay?
analog vs. digital?
eq?
anywhere from 40 millisecond to 21 second delays....


there is a lot to look at, and you really need to look at what you need for the context. everything has it's place

pan's perfection

what would be an optimal film for this venture?

subtitled or silent (nothing american and long scripted)
adult themes (a film that has some sort of turmoil that is more epic than normal day - to - day drama)
psychedelic visuals (something entertaining for the eyes to match the music)

pan's labyrinth seems to fit all of these

so why am i questioning it as a film?

dark crystal

upon re-watching, this movie has a lot going for it
pro:
~little to no music
~epic story
~visually stunning

cons:
~childish
~a large amount of inaction
~a lot of script

very compelling.
