Big news world! My first single has just been released to public enjoyment! The 3 tracks are based on all my Travels this past year. I've recorded hundreds of sounds with my Tascam DR-05. I am a huge advocate of the art of story-telling through my ambient/electronic tunes. Sampling is key to blend both what the audience wants to hear and where the audience wants to be. Go check out the single on iTunes!
This video quickly found a soft spot with me. I immediately relate with Kevin Russ. I'm immediately jumped back to the feeling of adventure and freedom when aimlessly wondering through our nation. Enjoy!
About a month ago my friend Roman Keating and I were sitting around his house bored. Our lasting boredom found us creating this short film quite spontaneously. Enjoy!
I found an article on Francesca Pastine's work that really stood out for me. Morgana Matus explains in her article on inhabit.com, "The arts and culture publication Artforum may be used to commenting on the world of museums and galleries, but now they find themselves as the work of art itself. In her Artforum Excavation Series, Francesca Pastine carves the magazines to form colorful, sculptural pieces that seem to melt down the wall, fold in on themselves, and form sculptural structures. Using an Xacto blade, the San Francsico-based artist painstakingly carved each page creating what she calls 'unsolicited collaborations.'"
I was recently privileged to participate in my friends new album. It's called "It's A.D. 2016." and is an ambient collection of tracks derived from the hard work of a few passionate artists (Arthur Zdrinc, Dante Alarcon, Lunar Day, Connectedness Locus, Andrew Barkules, Everything Comes In Cycles, Everything Fades In Shades, and myself Tim Moore). Arthur Zdrinc lead the team of artist by collaborating with each one of us and gave general direction to each song, making sure the album flowed smoothly and was continuative. My track lies 6th in the album and is named "The Spring of 1988". I discovered great experience working with samples and organic noises. Here's an excerpt from Arthur explaining the meaning of the album: "Each song captures a moment in time. Time... That transient concept. That elusive and deceiving idea. Since the existence of mankind... we have micro managed our transient lives with the use of "calendars," cylindrical tablets of stone, cave paintings. Whether we carve into stone the significant occurrences during our generation, or Vlog each and every meal we've had in the last week. Man is obsessed with retention. And specifically in this age of retentia we live in, the human has astronomical potential for merely perfect retention; Of memories, of thoughts, of ideas, Et Cetera."
