Hello, again. Some updates on this past weekend's madness.
On Friday, I participated in a live HD videoconference from San Diego, CA to Sao Paulo, Brazil and Keio, Japan for a special event during the Electronic Language Festival (at 6 in the freakin' morning, no less). It was definitely a cool experience to embody a gigantic talking head on a screen thousands of miles away. I gave a very brief introduction to Beatbox360, which was returning the festival for the second time, as part of FILE's 4K Digital Cinema showcase. After my intro, the movie was played in Brazil and lasted about 2 and a half minutes before the playback server decided that it was a perfectly good time to enjoy a major system failure and crash. Oh, well. The best laid
plans, eh? Check out this CALIT2 news story for more info and pictures from the event.
Later that night, without the help of an afternoon nap, I joined some local bands and DJ's at Porter's Pub at UC San Diego for "Summer Bash." I rocked out some visuals for :[DGRAPH]: (aka Dustin Raphael), a fellow ICAM graduate from UCSD who mixed electronic music with live guitar complete with real-time effects. Long story short, it was pretty ill. I used a combination of live camera effects, some handcrafted animations, and some of my favorite anime clips for some visual support. Big thanks to my fiance, Amanda Frias, for helping me with the camera effects : )
Good beer and good times, indeed.
There won't be too many updates in the next few weeks as I'll be getting ready for my first burn at this year's Burning Man (woot!). With some luck I'll post a new song or two before heading out, so stay tuned.
PEACE web.
