Your Blood (Honey)

I’ve posted music here: I’ve been slowly working out a compilation of tracks over a long period of time. Some of these are over a year or so old (though I made significant changes). I’ll add to this over time and post when I’ve added something new. Today I added “Harddberd Out”, which I just finished.

Conatus is up on Vimeo. Enjoy!

This has been up for a few days now, but I figured it was about time that I posted it officially. the film is called “(in) determinate”, or “In Medias Rəs”. The process was really rewarding for me. There’s a lot to be said about it, in my opinion, but I’ll leave it at that.

click here to watch it.

I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but it deserves it’s own post. I recently modified a song from an electronic album I finished for a video on the Epigenome that my sister directed at the GSLC. You can vew that video here. The GSLC website is honestly an incredible resource, and I couldn’t be more honored to help out with anything on it. Check it out. Also, if you’d like to hear the rest of the album, listen to it here. If you like it, and want to use it for anything, contact me first (especially if you are making any money by using it, or are a business). I previously created a post (it is now empty) about my attempts to sell the album, this was fruitless, so it’s up for grabs—again, I only ask that if you use it you give me credit and you pay me: A if you have money for the project, or B are making any money from the project. Thanks, Enjoy!

My goal is to watch a movie everyday. I may not accomplish it, but I’ll try to get close–you can see how I’m fairing at the link on the bottom of the right hand navigation (I’ll try to update it once a week or so). It’s harder to steal movies here. The internet bandwidth is throttled (so at prime time, when everyone is on youtube one must wait 10 minutes to watch a 2:30 clip), and the DVD’s are region 2 (they won’t play on my laptop with out the aide of illegal means). Also, the movies I can rent from the library have these metal bars taped to them so that when they rotate in my laptop’s DVD drive it makes a really loud and embarrassing noise. The DVD’s are on 4 hour, inside-the-library only, loans. So, my choices at school are limited. I’ve signed up for a Netflix type service, called Lovefilm, that’s owned by amazon.co.uk–and a couple online viewing services (though, again, they are slow most of the time). This on top of downloading (via torrent), and watching movies for class and at the library, I should have enough ease of access to movies-; though, it’d be much easier if they were all centralized somehow. Hopefully I can fulfill my cinema hopes (though it’ll take awhile to catch up to Ken Jennings). I’m finishing up Naked Lunch right after this post.

I went to Whitstable this weekend, which is the nearest beach to Canterbury. It’s about a 15 to 20 minute bus ride directly from campus. It’s a stony sort of beach, and when we went on Sunday, it was pretty crowded. There are lots of cool shops and stuff around it. I still haven’t been to Dover yet. I heard recently that it wasn’t worth the 2 hour bus ride, and I should go to Whitstable instead (which I did). I’m not sure if the bus ride is really two hours, in fact I can’t imagine that it really is, but I think I’d enjoy Dover regardless. Theo’s friend Jack said yesterday that Canterbury has the highest ratio of pubs per square mile than any other city in England. I don’t know if that’s true either, but it certainly gives an approximation of (my perceived) priority of interest for most students here.

Yesterday I went the climbing club’s trip to a climbing wall at a independently owned sports center outside Canterbury. They have these older guys come and teach the novices (like myself) who they refer to as “old gits.” I learned how to do two simple knots, and basic climbing technique (which I sort of remembered from climbing a long time ago) like how to descend and belay. I bouldered a bit more too, and my wrists and fingers still hurt from that a little. Tonight is the next trampoline society.

Last night I went to the Film Society social and met some folks that are knowledgeable about films (and are happy to prove it). It was pretty cool, and I met lot’s of folks that were on the administrative council of directors for the various internal programs (big lense film magazine, production department, screening department). The words I used may have made it sound like more complex of a society than it actually is.

There’s talk of a trip to London this weekend, and a week from this Friday I’m planning on going on a mountaineering trip. Two weeks from today I will be in Paris with Monica. I can’t wait!

Here is another song that I made:

Blood Music – Under Waves and (or) In Color for the First Time

Here is a song I have made:

Blood Music – The Undiscovered Myth of Space and The Un-Mind

I apologize for the wait, I was hoping to use a website called Vume–which appears to have disappeared, but promised me money in exchange for my content. I have switched to Vimeo, it’s a pretty website, and the quality is significantly better than youtube. Enjoy.

Firsly, You’ll be able to find my remix of Nude, which I will have done without paying for it, here later.

Secondly, I’m Also bringing back my Delicious account updates. I’m going to be more diligent about supplying correct, efficient, standardized, and thoughtful information along with those posts.

Thirdly, if you read my this Log and go to IU, I would be greatly pleased if you would come to see my film at a competition this Friday. You can find information about this particular competition at http://www.indiana.edu/~filmfest/.

Finally, You’ll maybe see some changes to the layout today. It was feeling stagnant.

Here’s the video’s, sorry for the wait on Speewah. Two documentaries.
