I heard from Drew Swinburne today that my Toy Piano VSTi was used in a composition for the new issue of “Vice” magazine. I basically live in a cave, so I had to look it up. It turns out that it is the “Clowny Clown Clown” issue.
The song coincides with a video that was made in an effort to capture the “theme” of the issue.
Hmmm … this guy has the moves. Check it around 0:19.
You can hear the toy piano kick in after a while @~0:13.
Due to the emerging “Dot Com” market, I have decided to take the bold move of putting my music (and some video work) up for sale on the World Wide Web. The internet based company Tunecore provides a service through which independent artists can release there albums and music videos through multiple online retailers under somewhat non-exclusive contracts. They also pay out 100% of the income from electronic download sales. They stay afloat via annual fees for “storage”.
I plan on releasing both Eureka Farm albums “Analog” and “The View” on iTunes and Rhapsody. I will also release my early work with Nick Harmer, Jason McGerr and Ben Gibbard (known as Shed) as soon as I get it figured out.
I will also be distributing The Misadventures of Two “Vol. I & Vol. II” (my band with David Miklos-Snyder) when that gets remixed and mastered.
And, of course, my upcoming solo record “Bits” will be for sale online as well.
I will keep you posted as this development progresses…
The three VSTi plugins I have made so far (Skdrummer, Sk-crooner, Toy Piano) have been picked up and are being distributed by the Japanese magazine DTM. I was contacted about six weeks ago by the editor. They asked me if they could include my instruments on the DVD that is distributed with the magazine.
Why not?
I requested a copy of the magazine in return and it showed up on my doorstep (literally) today. They wrote the address in a funny way that made it look like they wanted it to be sent to Arman Bohn in the city of Distropolis. I’m definitely keeping the label.
I thought they were just going to include the files on the DVD, but after flipping through the pages, I found some funny looking little guys on page 26!
I guess I’m famous in Japan now! I wish I knew what the little blurbs said …
Soon it will be time to bust out the wine glasses and start building the “Armanium”!
My latest short film, Planet Earth: Our Response has been selected to be in Vol. 11 of The Journal of Short Film.
It is the first regional issue of the quarterly DVD journal and was currated by local film maker Karl Lind.
There will be a screening of the all of the selected films on May 28th at 7:00pm in the Whitsell Auditorium in the Portland Art Museum.
The film is about 10 minutes long and was created over many years of collecting and categorizing archival footage. A fictional historical narative was created by intercutting my own footage with the public domain footage I aquired. The result is a sci-fi documentary set sometime in the past involving the U.S. government and the Galactic Census Bureau.
You can watch the entire film here on my site!
