Party People,

In the summer of ‘07 I wrote the soundtrack (and played the guitar parts) for a short film called Yellow.

Channel 13, the NYC PBS station, is including the film in their Reel Shorts competition. Channel 13 has posted YELLOW and two other short films on their website and has invited the public to watch the films and vote for their favorite. Channel 13 will then screen the winning film on television this Valentine’s Day, Saturday, February 14.

The voting has begun and will continue until Thursday, February 11 at 5pm EST.

Please click on this link to check it out:

And if you like Yellow, please vote for it (in the little box just under the third movie). AND for extra credit, tell everyone you know to vote for it. We’re in a dead heat with one of the other movies and that will not do!

Thanks!

Eben

As you may have heard, there was some fanfare a few weeks ago about an application from Microsoft Research called SongSmith. Despite the bizarre promo video and campy sonic style the app is brilliant under the covers and can analyze vocals and generate musical accompaniment to match.

Well, it didn’t take long for the web community to run with it.

Prince launched a new website lotusflow3r.com in anticipation of his 3 new releases for 2009. The design of the website is so bad that only an m-f like Prince could ever pull it off, which makes him even more badass in my eyes.

I’m Sorry

Ok, so I play with this band called Ethan Lipton and His Orchestra. It’s an insane playwright on vocals, an upright bassist, a sax player and me on guitar. Super fun. Huck produced our last record “Mr Softee”. Anyway, a long-time crazed fan and good guy and some of his co-workers put this video together using scenes from World of Warcraft (I think) for one of the songs on the album. Enjoy!

Ps. I was too stupid to figure out how to post the high quality version, so here’s a link which lets you choose to view the better looking version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZacXHfC6N7s

Awesome idea.
