It's a new day. How cliche; but it is you know.
Anyways I'm moving forward even when traveling backwards in time, this has been established by many time traveler Jedi, and though I don't have proof of this, I'm certain that it has been, it's a simple truth. Simple truths are something I'm getting real good at, assuming you believe my unwavering opinions. Anyways I digress; again....
The reason I'm cluttering the internet with more of this internetting stuff is to post a couple of music videos I made.
I conceived shot and edited the instrumental "Formulas And Functions" by Circle Research one evening in the latter part of 2009. I did this unofficially and on my own accord using a rental car, and bribing my wife to be talent (with some Tim Horton's; I know right : ) anyways ) . I did this because 1.) I'm a huge fan of Circle Research & 2.) As always I get inspired visually by Circle Research music, I've even got a couple of movies planned using their "Who?" and "Gardiner Express" those entire LP's as soundtracks.
The music that accompanies the first video is from their album Gardiner Express & it wasn't officially released yet at the time but I got an advance copy because I worked on the cover art for Gardiner Express. So after finishing the original video I showed it to Circle Research, but it was decided that the yaking part was confusing.... When conceiving the video I had decided that that's exactly what I was going for but I guess it just didn't fit the CR vision for the track/video and the video got shelved till now.
So 2010 saw Circle Research make a remix of "Formulas And Functions" with Maylee Todd who I actually got to direct in a another CR video "You Don't Know Me", I didn't really know who she was at the time we made "You Don't Know Me"; I just took her for one of CR's cool artsy friends. Fast fwd to 2011 and I sure do know now who she is now, as does anyone who knows good music in Canada because Maylee Todd is awesome!!!!
So CR made the remix of "Formulas And Functions" featuring Maylee Todd, so I remixed the video to fit the new version.
I'm releasing these now because I've always wanted to share all my work but always seem to find a reason not to get around to it, & in this post "R!P A Remix Manifesto" world I'm shamelessly going to share as much of my creativity as I possibly can, it's my calling, my passion, my trade, so I need to be more proactive in getting my work out there, especially since I want to make a living doing this kind of thing.
BTW CR is getting spins on CBC Radio3 so go give 'em a thumbs up and add them to your playlists so they can be on the R3 30; my favorite radio show/podcast since The Circle Research show.

p.s. the yaking part in the video was open to interpretation from the start; my interpretation at the time was foreshadowing to being prego, which I'm glad to report has worked out marvelously, we are now proud parents of an awesome baby boy : )
