This didn't turn out as awesome as I had hoped, what with the low light and then trying to fix it in iMovie without ever having used iMovie before, and then getting it posted too late to be included in the Seattle show, presumably. But Joe asked for records showing our favorite places in Seattle, and some of my favorite places in Seattle are venues in the Seattle social dance scene.
This video was taken at Om Culture in Fremont at the weekly Fusion dance (creatively titled "Om Fusion"). Lead: Mike Stoumbos. Follow: Me. Camerawork: Robin Rose. If you're curious, we're dancing to Aimee Allen's "Calling The Maker" (removed for copyright reasons, natch).
Hi-res file can be found here, if you actually wanted to do something with it: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28282/Fusion%20dance.mov
This short story was written by me as one of the really early hitRECord collaborations. I took a photo of a door in a wall, he(art)geek drew a girl leaning against said wall, Tori photoshopped them together, and then I wrote this story. Just recently, the talented and wonderful Philip Horrell recorded it as an audio play as a birthday gift to me.
Now, the version I've posted here is just him reading the story. He also made an awesome version with music and sound effects, but sadly the sounds he used are copyrighted material. What I would LOVE, possibly more than life itself, is if some of you sensational, talented hitRECorders would make some beautiful music and sounds to add to this. I'm thinking jazzy with piano and trumpet, very film noir-esque. We definitely need some ambient bar noise for the bit about the narrator hoping she'll come into the bar where he works, and maybe a match striking when she first lights her cigarette. Go nuts!

Another failed attempt to post an audio file. I wish I knew what the max file size was. |

This was supposed to have an audio file attached. It took nearly ten minutes supposedly uploading the file...then when it finished, it was only the text. Not awesome :( |

If we're going to have a coat of arms, we need a motto in Latin. Obviously.
I tried a few variations on "again by heart" since translations are never exact, so we could pick the one we t... |

"How about you? Have anyone special?" "I...I'm not sure." "How do you mean?" "Well, definitely on the 'special.' I'm just not so sure on the 'have.'" |

This is one of my favorite poems, due in part to its being featured in one of my favorite films: The History Boys. Samuel Barnett's reading of it in that film gives me chills, but the poem itself i...

Marke's post about the new function for tagging your records as text, image, video, etc, reminded me of a topic I've been thinking about every since the new site came online.

MattConley's "Eyeglasses Autopsy Scan" video gave me an idea, and I wanted to share it with my fellow pocket coroners to find collaborators.
His video really felt like an intro, and no s... |
