“Rowboatcop”

This video was shot in January 2008 and lay on a drive in a half edited form for quite a while. I had to make a small amount of footage go a long way (in more ways than one!). In an attempt to clear some backlog from the creative pipe (yes there is further back to go!) I am putting this out there as is now. I should say that these ‘projects’ are all self initiated for the sake of art.

I think a good addition to it may be some comic titles.. suggestions welcome in the comments.

The track is from Sarsparilla’s first album “Karahee” released on the Alphabetset label in 2007. Be sure and check it the new album “Slave To The Cat Gang” via Myspace…

This is an experimental videomix I made back in 2004. It is about 1 hour and 10 minutes in duration, broken up here into 8 parts to fulfill youtube limits.

The video was made by feeding live television into Arkaos VJ software and also through an Edirol V4 video mixer. Then I went about channel hopping while mixing some music with the audio from the television coming in occasionally.

Some of this is good, some of this is bad. I had planned to edit this down to a “best of” 20 minute or so mix, but that is a task for another day and would detract for the idea of a live remix somewhat. The audio levels fluctuate a bit as the ads are always louder and so is not very professional in that regard. However, it works ok.

I have done this type of thing many times but this was stored on a drive for over 5 years
and so i decided to put it out there.

So, it’s old, it’s a bit messy but it is what it is. television reprocessed with music.

watch all 8 parts on YouTube .
