Julien Donkeyboy is one of my favourite films. Ever since watching it I have always wanted to sample the audio from the scene that sees this black albino spontaneously jump into this 5 minute rap, surrounded by fellow mental patients who are getting really excited by his performance, which is one of my favourite scenes of the movie. Here’s part of it on youtube.
I only just made this last night on my headphones and haven’t had a chance to listen to it on decent monitors, so probably doesn’t sound great.
Last year a hot girl called Zahara asked me for some music that she could work to. So I put this mix together.
Other stuff going on right now…
AH AH AH AH
You should check out Zahara’s blog (it’s not quite a blog) that I built for her: ahahahah.zaharagallardo.com. Careful – it contains boobies. You can subscribe to her Facebook page to keep updated on the latest happenings in Sexy World.
M-NUS EMBED #3
My edit for Mr Hawtin and Co. is pretty much finished, I’m waiting for some final feedback right now, so I’ll be posting a link to this in the next few days when the video launches! Very exciting
Zev – Don’t break it
The boys from Wolf+Lamb asked me rather nicely if I could make a video for Zev Eisenberg’s next release “Don’t break it”. So I spent last weekend up at Zev’s place upstate filming him in the middle of a forest, equipped with a smoke machine and a strobe light. Oh and a log splitter. I started editing this yesterday. Interesting stuff
Wolf+Lamb youtube loops
I went to the Marcy yesterday to make a couple of video loops that the Wolf+Lamb guys can use whenever posting a release up on the youtube. I haven’t seen any interesting ones, so I think what we did last night could be quite new for all those youtube jockeys.
Facebook page
I’ve set up a Facebook page for my work that just alerts people whenever I post something here on my blog. This is for two reasons: firstly because I’d like to try to keep my personal profile private, so diverting strangers to the page should work in theory. The second reason, which kind of goes against the first one, is that I’m using Facebook more and more as a tool to receive updates from blogs and websites that I wouldn’t otherwise voluntarily go an check out on a regular basis, so I figured it would be a good way to keep people updated on what I’m up to!
Almost exactly a year today I came to New York to film the Crosstown Rebels’ party at the infamous Marcy Hotel, home of Wolf + Lamb. At the time I didn’t know that this was to be my neighbourhood within the following year, so just the other day it brought back some nice memories to find by accident the footage from the event that I thought I had deleted (backed up to tape).
One of the most special moments from that party was something I never used in the final episode of REBELRAVE #8. So under REBELRAVE’s UNCUT label (which is about showing special unused footage from my episodes) I decided to release this little gem: Lee Curtiss is hosting a Blind Date between Wolf + Lamb (Zev Eisenberg + Gadi Mizrahi) and Le Loup (Leonard Perret). The Marcy Hotel boys had just released a track by Le Loup, however this was to be their first encounter with the young Frenchman, so we decided to make a fuss over it.
I’ve also jumped on the Facebook fan-page bandwagon just like the rest of the world. Become a Fan, Like, Follow or whatever you want to do with REBELRAVE’s page, and also with my own one which I creatively named DAVID TERRANOVA.
Don’t call me dave
Although I spent a larger portion of my working life as a Flash Developer, I have lately developed a taste for video. This kicked off when I began making a video series called REBELRAVE for an underground techno label, and since then I have enjoyed making a variety of abstract and experimental videos.
I have also been making music since my teen years, so occasionally I may publish something I made in my spare time in between long video renders.
Flash is still something I use on a weekly basis, making websites, experiments and visuals.
