If I sold experimental short films on @steam_games as tests for potential full feature films, would people watch them?

Uncle Skeleton "Jeux"

posted April 10, 2017 #

I'm very happy to share a brand new video for the Uncle Skeleton track "Jeux." The video was created by Nashville artist MKAV and features a pleasantly intense visualization of the song. The folks at VDMX, who create the software used for the video, were kind enough to debut the video. So, just click on over there and watch it.

The song is a great kickoff for Spring. So, go watch the video and then dive into the album.

Music Digest

posted April 10, 2017 #

My buddies Bryan and J host a podcast over on BTR called The Music Digest in which they play songs they've never heard before and then simply react to it. It leads to a lot of absurd side conversations and ridiculousness. It's a good listen.

They were kind enough to invite me on an episode to share my own absurdities and opinions. You can hear the episode, Bernie Madoff Complex, streaming on the web, on iTunes or wherever you stream your podcasts. They even have their app.

It was a blast and I thank them for having them on. Hopefully you enjoy it!

Rain World

posted April 10, 2017 #

I recently encountered the game Rain World - a dystopian future side scroller where you operate a slug cat through the demolition and remains of the world. I actually read this exhaustive review of it before I'd seen any gameplay and was kind of hooked. The amount of hidden symbols used throughout and references to other similar worlds - Blade Runner, Brazil, Neuromancer, et al. - is impressive. I'm largely curious if those nods were intentional or just a result of personal immersion from the game makers. Regardless, it's worth a look.

Friday Videos - April 7th, 2017

posted April 7, 2017 #

Today's the last day for Kevin Sheurs at VHX. He's our CTO and has been with the company since day 1; helping to build the entire infrastructure of our platform. It's lamentable to see him go but I'm excited to see what he gets into next. Follow him on Twitter, he's always got some interesting insight to share.

But enough of the schmaltz - on to the videos. A short one as I spent the previous evening sending Mr. Sheurs off in grand fashion.
  • Double King - an original animation by Felix Colgrave. Give it 30 seconds and you'll be hooked for the remainder of the flick. It's unbelievable one person did this.
  • Our Heavenly Bodies - I mentioned this previously but I'm going to see Coupler play in Philadelphia this weekend perform a live score to this 1925 silent film. Sounds pretentious but I am confident it will be stellar.
  • Rick TV - another combo Rick & Morty / Paul Robertson animation. Stellar work, even if you don't know the show at all.
  • Epic Puppy Sneeze - you know what's coming and it's still baffling.
  • Datamoshing Test - welcome to your new nightmare. Nice.

Angela Deane, Ghost Photos

posted April 6, 2017 #

It's been a few years since I've visited the work of Angela Deane but her work has sustained it's level of intrigue in that time. Her Ghost Photographs project consists of found photographs manipulated to depict ethereal spirits hanging out in everyday situations. It's amusing, macabre and a bit melancholy... depending on your mood for the day. She also throws in some witches and other characters now and again for good measure, which I appreciate.

You can follow her on Instagram and Tumblr to get a regular dose.

Chaz Bundick Meets The Mattson 2

posted April 6, 2017 #

I recently had a chance encounter with the song Disco Kid from the awkwardly named Chaz Bundick meets The Mattson 2. I've been stuck in a repeating loop of over indulgence since. Chaz Bundick is better known as Toro y Moi and the Mattson 2 are a jazz duo from California. The combination of spacey, psych styles works extremely well together for my ears.

You can watch a real deal video for Star Stuff off the same album or just dive into the whole thing.
