To be remixed by a confidante is the best thing in the world.
Good job Alex!!

These two video cameras

The V.360º captures video in a 360º panoramic. Great for POV and action shots.
And Sony's Music Video Recorder (HDR-MV1) is a compact video recorder and field recorder. The HDR-MV1 hit me. I like to record sound too, and having a field recorder on a video camera just intrigues me.
I really like both cameras, but to be quite honest, neither are really needed, but still...

New Music (with voice)

I finally got around to creating some new music and this time around I used my voice. That's a big breakthrough for me, for I've always been afraid to do so. Well, that's one more thing not to run away from.

A project I edited for ‪Karl J. Paloucek‬. Karl shot the footage for the music and I pieced it all together.

Philosophic Ramblings on the Edge of Emptiness

I believe I have found what the populace wants, or perhaps needs- "non-narrative film treatments", or as I think of them as- "Video Haiku", an unraveling of events in non-sequential form, void of time and place. From this point onward, I'm taking video art very seriously, for it is a form of pure release, and allows one's mind to bend inward and retract towards light.

Concerning content creation

Great inspiration

I have realized a source of great inspiration. It's not an external source, it's an internal one, one I can't seem to name. I'm going to try not watching any films for awhile, not read anything new and not research needed subjects. I need to ruminate on personal experience and conjure my inner voice, turning my back on the outer world, while shedding light on my interior.

New Music in July

On occasion I compose music. I'm a non-musician, but enjoy creating sound very much. July 2013 created a boiling point for music creation- Lots of external stress, high humidity and an all-around  "fear and loathing" of America's political system... Never-mind all that, here is the music-

Variants of Form

'Variants of Form' was produced in 2002 using analog equipment, wild imagination and a second generation iMac as a recording device. I have made music since then, but none of it has ever, in my mind, stood up to the tracks on this album. For me, this album represents "Beginner's Mind"- a mind open to new possibilities without any pretense to the past.
If none of my previous or future work would cease to exist, I would choose this work as my only work to be seen and criticized. 'Variants of Form' marks the height of my musical artistry, and I see all the material that I have produced since then as a mockery of that golden-age that existed for me back in 2002.
