These are the RECords that touched me the most this past month...

Occupy2

I've added this REmix to both the Independence and Occupy collaborations as I think the image applies to both topics. I hope you find it somewhat inspirational! <3

Equal parts Julian Fellowes, Stephen Fry, Clive Candy and Tobias Fünke


 


Rather less strident than Todd's reading.

An attempt to begin a discussion about the direction of HitRECord and see some common complaints addressed. In which I am revealed to be inarticulate and easily distracted without a script. Also my cadence is wack. And my voice goes odd at times.


At about 5:15 I mean specifically a piece of text from our users. There are some wonderful poems and prose on the site that never see light of day because "reading" is "boring" or something.


 


Inevitably, I did not manage to cover everything I wanted to. Apologies for the roughness of recording, I lack patience as an audio editor.


And in case it isn't clear, I am nothing but grateful to HitRECord for the last 2 years I've been here. The opportunity to have work seen on such a large scale just doesn't happen normally, and I appreciate and respect the work that has gone into making that happen. It's because of this gratitude that I'm so eager to ensure that the company does not stagnate or flounder as we progress into a larger sphere of attention.

An ode to friends.


Because we would do anything for them. And even though they tell us to stay, we follow them through thick and thin.


 


PS: Best listened to with headphones.


PS: This RECord was undoubtedly influenced by the fact I just finished watching Third Star.

Missing Life Line


 
It sounds crazy, maybe weird –
One day my lifeline disappeared.
 
I’ve checked my right palm, then the left –

I re-recorded this song last month sometime now that my piano is in tune, but never posted it because I'm still not totally in love with the way it ended up sounding. Anyway, I would love love LOVE for this song to be remixed or even started over from scratch. I tried to pay more attention to my timing and everything this time so it will be easier for anyone that wants to add to it. If you're interested, let me know and I'll upload the stems. I really want to take this song to a whole other world, more voices, more ambient sounds, more more more! I want the "ooo" section to sound heavenly, so if you have any ideas, please share! Chords: Verses: C Am Em C Am Em C Am Em F G Oohs: C Em (a million times) and at the end it's F Em Am then another verse and end in C

You drape me in your oversized coat, drowning me in everything that’s dragging you down from the skies. As I watch you fall, you cling onto every inch of me, sucking the air out of my lung...

And success!!!


 


Enjoy and feel free to chop up as you like.  Like I said before, I've uploaded another little snippet cause I felt like I'd messed up those lines the elf said in this one.

Thanks vedder, Noah & Rochelle for doing the VO for this. I tried to use all 3 at the same time but that is beyond my technical skills:-)


It's not perfect, but I'm proud of it anyway!

I'd been living as somebody else.

A star fell out of the sky today


In my garden it did land


I picked it up gently, and made a wish


As it lay flickering in my hand....

Someone's Dream


 


She's here between us


But time is on our side


Her face keeps crawling in


But it's OK


She'll never stay


 


I will steal the stars for you


 


To live in taxis


It can't be so bad


To live in someone's dream


It could be nice


I'd love to live in yours


 


I will kill the beast for you


 


We are bound to be free


Eventually


If we just hang on


Together


 


For it is soon to be


Just you and me


Her ghost


Will carry on


 


 We will be happy


Just sip our tea


And laugh until we ache


 


It will be you and me


Cos it has to be


Her ghost must soon be gone


 


And when we're drowning


Just bear in mind


The shore is getting near


 


We'll soon be laughing


Just laughing at ourselves

I directed/animated this music video with a few friends.  We like to call it a low-fi, arts and crafts, stop-motion history of the world.


 


The song is called Thick as Thieves, by the band Kalle Mattson.

So, this is what happens when you read the entire Syd Mead Blade Runner sketchbook after a long conversation about absinthe. I was originally going to call it 'Do Art Nouveau Androids Dream of Green Dragons?' Ugh. But as always, do with it what you will. I don't know who the poor bastard sitting in the rain is, but he looks cold, sick and tired. I think he's waiting for a phone call.

I also originally tried to make something to do with the red riding hood collab. - this was going to be P.I. Duncan Wolf trying to solve the mystererious murder of Little Red at the Lumberjack Lounge. (Cross-dressing gangster The Grandma did it. He hired local hitman Big Teeth to do the job, but didn't count on the Wolf actually being able to catch the scent.) I wandered off a little.

  So, yeah. I'll upload the pencils of this too, if anyone wants to do their own colour job.  To anyone downloading it, you will realise that yes, I originally tried to upload this as an animated gif. Alas, I am a goof, and messed it up somehow. Hence the tinyness. If you can fix it, wonderful. If not, no worries. We live and learn.
