I've been letting this one sit in my head for a while now, time to let it out. I'd love to hear some harmonica and a chorus of stomp/claps (mind you, I don't know how to add those together if you just put up the pieces) let's make this thing good, loud, & dirty. Here's the super simple lyrics if you're interested in such things:
Hey, Jack, don't look back
The sun is shinin' and that's a fact
Hey, Jack, don't look back
The Sun is shinin' and that's a fact
Hey, Jack, don't be sad
The clouds are gone and it ain't so bad
Hey, Jack, don't be sad
The clouds are gone and it ain't so bad
Hey, Jack, don't look back
The sun is shinin' and that's a fact
Hey, Jack, don't be sad
The clouds are gone and it ain't so bad
The genre of glitch is completely based on sampling, cutting, chopping...the deconstruction of one artform and the reconstruction of the pieces into something new. I ripped the audio from RegularJOE's videos and sampled it into a track I made. I reconstructed his words to describe a lot of feelings I have regarding sampling and remixing in general. I was suprised how easily his words could tell my story.
Here's a dose of dark historical humor for the Tiny Story collaboration.

I had an impulse of sloppy passion and creativity this weekend! It's low-fi, dorky wizard wrock... but it's full of honest longing.

He can't sleep because she's dead. He misses her. Flashback in dream sequence..yada yada.
I suppose it's a little silly that I would insinuate that she dies in a shipwreck. But, it's better than my 2nd choice: eaten by alligators.
Besides, I had no "eaten by alligators" audio clip, so the flimsy shipwreck storyline will have to do. =]
The only sonnet I know by heart. Sonnet 29.
This is the version of the New Time Collaboratorium that screened at SXSW 2010. This was such a fast and ambitious project and there were so many pieces from the contributions I wanted to fit in but ran out of time! But not to fret The New Time has expressed that they would love to keep this collaboration going.
This video of course is missing the live accompaniment of the band, so melodically it's not super compelling by itself.
So let's keep evolving this and we can finally turn this into the full on collaboration that it has been aching to become! Thanks to everyone who pitched in.
I painted all the spaces between the lines with this tiny brush. It took hours ;)
