07.Jan.2010 introducing… vj ghostmeat
I make music to visuals in my head. Always have. I’ve thought doing so “professionally” (or at least with other people around to share my work and interpretations with, heh) would be pretty fun so I’ve been chipping away at it. I use to make visuals for PHX DNB but they were just looping dvd’s with pre-mixed video, many of which was my own creation (via after effects ect). Here is an example of what that looked like:
The theme of that party was “construction” and urban grit and the headliner was Goldie. The construction footage was taken by myself with assistance from MechSoul. Actually he did quite a few clips in this particular set so I cant take all the credit.
Anywho, that was some time ago, like 3 years. Last month I was invited to participate in a new night in Phoenix called Culture Shock and here is a video of the performers that night with visuals Mech and I made in the background:
There is a Culture Shock event going on this month: Friday January 22nd @ Yucca Tap Room. It will be my first LIVE vj attempt. I just purchased my first controller actually. And I’m in the afterglow of geekdom.
I felt like sharing

Gilbert discusses the origins of “genius”, considering ancient Greek daemons, or the divine, attendant spirits from distant, unknowable sources that influence creativity. In ancient Rome, dismebodied creative spirits were called a genius, believed to live in the walls of an artist’s studio.
She encourages the idea that creativity can be a “peculiar, wondrous, bizzare collaboration” between a person and a “strange, external thing”.

24.Oct.2008 Luckily the universe can accommodate our mistakes.
Strip away everything of yourself that is conditional — your name, your relationships, your language, your acquired knowledge, your body parts — and what is left? Nothing is left except a point of awareness. Since it is independent of all that is conditionally you, your awareness is identical to my awareness and to everyone else’s. I don’t mean identical as in “separate but the same.” I mean identical as in “one and the same.” I am you and you are I. We are the same being taking different points of view.

04.Oct.2008 Everything must run it’s course.
(previously embedded video removed. peep link for tune)
I’m feeling rough, I’m feeling raw, I’m in the prime of my life.
Let’s make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.
I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.
This is our decision, to live fast and die young.
We’ve got the vision, now let’s have some fun.
Yeah, it’s overwhelming, but what else can we do.
Get jobs in offices, and wake up for the morning commute.
Forget about our mothers and our friends
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend
I’ll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I’ll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I’ll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I’ll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone.
There’s really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew.
The models will have children, we’ll get a divorce
We’ll find some more models, everything must run it’s course.
We’ll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We’re fated to pretend
To pretend
