Kenyon Adams & American Restless at Sullivan Hall

I had the distinct pleasure of watching my friend Kenyon Adams and his band play Sullivan Hall this past Friday night. I took some video for them.

It provided me an opportunity to play with my new Tascam D40 field recorder. I got some pretty decent sound out of the internal mics.

I hope you enjoy their work as much as I do.

Kid A: Finally out in the open

I made a movie a few years ago. It was an experiment in learning. I am now releasing it to the wild. I hope you enjoy.

This is the first scene of a film I made 3 years ago. I shot this on basically no budget with a borrowed home camcorder. It was a grand experiment that was both an immense success and failure. It was my first film. The farther I get away from it the more proud and disappointed I am with how it turned out. Disappointed because I see all the things I didn’t know, and now wish I could fix, don’t have the time to fix. The more I look at it the more work there is to do. It’s a success because the more experience I get, I realize the scope of what I was attempting with so little, and how much I was able to accomplish on sheer ignorance and will power. I hope you enjoy it.

This is a silent film based on Radiohead’s album “Kid A”. The music itself was the original inspiration for the film. After some work it became a modern Romeo and Juliet story. This is the first scene. I plan on “releasing” the rest of the movie, song by song over the next few weeks. I do not have the rights to the music. I hope that it doesn’t get pulled.
