WHY I’VE BEEN QUIET FOR A WHILE

Wed, 15 Jun 2011 12:18:13 -0700

For the past four months I’ve been twiddling, tinkering, and rubbing tired eyes over a project about a character who does much of the same.

And so I’m very excited to finally share with you what that experience has been like, and what this strange thing is. It’s a music video for Christopher Pappas’ Miracle Parade moniker. It’s a swell record about to be released, so go out there and get it.

I’ll post the vimeo embed in a few days, but for now - head on over to My Old Kentucky Blog who so graciously premiered it.

Behind the scenes stills coming shortly as well...

BREAK UP BREAKDOWN

Sun, 12 Dec 2010 22:50:42 -0800

New project created recently with Elisha Yaffe and Curt Neill from “Remember When” - released near the holidays on MSN’s “The Bubble.”

Check it out HERE !

Stay tuned for more details about possible future episodes and such. Enjoy!

TIME UTILIZATION VS. PRODUCTIVITY

Thu, 2 Dec 2010 20:20:18 -0800

This new graph needs little explanation.

Yes, I quite often find myself a bit obsessed with my time utilization when I fear I’m not making haste and using my time wisely. I think we all find ourselves frequently using our time extremely un-wisely.

Here’s to procrastination.

BECOME A TIME TRAVELER

Fri, 19 Nov 2010 21:41:53 -0800

Opportunities to communicate with yourself in different time periods don’t come around very often. Time is linear, after all.

But guess what. PEARL WIBLE has headed up an effort to create one of those opportunities. Enter the IN 25 YEARS Time Capsule. The project continues to grow out of those tendrils of feelings we all have every so often throughout our lives. An ability to preserve ourselves at this exact moment. Or maybe an ability to truly speak directly to your future you.

Existential crises abound, the IN 25 YEARS Time Capsule asks guests to simply record a video of themselves speaking, through a camera, to themselves. Pretty easy. No excuses this time around, join in and take this opportunity - they don’t come around very often.

Check out the TRAILER below, edited by yours truly.

LORD HURON COMING SOON

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 09:16:35 -0800

A wanderlust team of video-capturers meets a wanderlust group of music-makers. The result? A journey up to Big Sur, CA to document another TWO STORIES session. A place where mountains jump into the ocean and the only road in is the only road out.

LORD HURON joined TIWWI for a gorgeous yet rain-soaked day in order to share two stories with us - one spoken, one performed. I can’t wait to share the final product with you - I think it might be good.

In the meantime, check out their MUSIC. Quite great.

TWO STORIES!

Tue, 5 Oct 2010 15:56:44 -0700

Finally, finally. It is with great pleasure that I can share the first session (of many, believe me) of TIWWI’s TWO STORIES, an on-going music video series.

If you’re out of the loop, check out my previous entry on the matter HERE. As well as the one-sheet explaining the process over at TIWWI.COM.

But yes - so glad that we were able to make something with JIM HANFT AND SAMANTHA YONACK. There’s been whispers that a new album will be on the way soon - and some even louder whispers that it’s really great (it is).

So with all that out of the way - please enjoy our first TWO STORIES session featuring Jim Hanft w/ Samantha Yonack. On VIMEO and below...

TIWWI HAPPENINGS

Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:09:57 -0700

TIWWI’s latest SHOW+TELL (held at the Rec Center Studio September 4th) went off splendidly - comprised of swirling constellations, liquid courage, time capsules and friendship. Pretty dang great.

Check out tons of photos from the event HERE.

Also - our 9th (whoa!) Weekend of Wonderment is right around the corner - October 2nd-3rd. Make something with us! Get off your bum and get creative once again. Believe me, it’s worth it. Got questions about the process? Check out TIWWI’s latest email blast HERE for more info.

TWO STORIES COMING SOON

Wed, 8 Sep 2010 17:06:47 -0700

It’s been a strange, busy little summer. Amidst a hectic, work-filled buildup to TIWWI’s latest SHOW+TELL (info coming soon on how that went last weekend), we’ve been hard at work getting a handful of exciting projects off the ground.

Amongst those was something new with superfriends JIM HANFT & SAMANTHA YONACK. Jim and I had been trying for the past 8 months or so to make something, anything together - it felt a bit like a crime not to. And so, right before they left for an extended tour/album-making time in Sweden, our schedules and healths finally lined up.

A month or so earlier, I was beginning to start a new music video/live performance series with TIWWI called TWO STORIES. It’s a simple premise: we invite artists we dig to a cool location and ask them to share two stories with us - all documented on camera. Check out the one-sheet explaining it all HERE. The first story’s spoken, the second is performed (via song of course).

So here’s a little TEASER I put together, with the full, finished session being launched in the coming week or so. Infinite thanks to Pete Gill and the friends that came out to assist in capturing the moments of this wonderful afternoon.

I think this could be the beginning of something pretty neat.
