Honestly, I’m really sorry about the singing! I’d set up the microphone in frame and saw myself on the little camcorder screen and found myself doing a falsetto slur of the first words that came into my head… I never sing (I literally have some weird childhood-trauma-related block when it comes to singing), so this is as mental-sounding to me as it is to you!

I basically put the whole video altogether in more-or-less one afternoon - I recorded a load of bits on the camera (in C, the key of my main bugle) and pieced a track together in Live (time-stretching, pitch-correcting, etc.. as I went along). There was no planning whatsoever. The music was composed entirely from the sound on the video.

When I was working with the footage I realised the chair kept creeping back into shot, so instead of reshooting everything (I’m lazy) I had a David Lynch moment and decided to make the chair a feature… so the only extra footage I took as of me knocking it over. My mic harness is still dented :-/

I dunno - I was in a really weird mood that day, but I’m quite pleased with the result of my little experiment. Although I still go really bright red every time I show it to anyone.

If you want to hear some of my proper music, there’s loads more here: mf.grimaceworks.com . Thanks for all your comments!

(p.s. I’m having a nightmare with the captcha submitting this thing!)

And damn, kind of sneak peek of some radioheaded unpublished music… nice. But dude, what about that voice? Quit it, PLEASE! XD

Just kiding… ok, I’m not.

next time on a plane, i like some amateur pilot, just for his expression.
hey, expressive doctors, too!
you can put in anything…

hmmm…….
me NOT.
Definitely.

I respect these Kind of MusicMaking, looks easy, but is also a hard job.

And like lefty said: It is original, selfmade, live and authentic!
That’s the deal!

Forget the known commercial way of musicmaking…
