Post Rebel Alliance Blues

Wow! So, Rebel Alliance was amazingly fun and awesome!

The photos for the remix of Vampire 9000's Colours were all awesome and inspirational. Great work from a great bunch of photographers and I'm honoured to have been a part of it all.
Thank you again Ben, Christiaan and to The Bioscope Independent Cinema (what a special little place).
I hope to be part of it again real soon.

A BIG thanks to my friends Vaughan and Lizanne for being part of it and for letting me boss them around with the photo-shoot. Love you kids! Also thank you to Warren, Dawie, Nicole, Maaike, Werner, Marina and Dan and whomever I might have forgotten. Thanks!!

For those of you who missed out, here are some of the photos that I contributed to the evening.
PS: The entire set is up on my onesmallseed page if you're interested.

The Ocean Doesn't Want Me: As The Dust Settles

Some of you may not know this yet, but in less than a month it is the launch of The Ocean Doesn't Want Me's second full length album.

It's been a long road for the guys and I'd like to think I've traveled quite a bit of that road with them, from going to gigs, taking photos, hearing the new songs in they're infant stages to doing the artwork for the upcoming album to where we are now; has been a tough journey, but it's so close now I can almost feel the music vibrating through my bones.

So, as a treat I have decided to post the artwork for the song, titled; "Van Eyck" which they released online this past week. You can go and have a listen to it here.
You can also read all the info as to where the album was recorded and mastered, so I'll spare you the details.

Here's a little preview of my concept for Vampire9000's remix of "Colours".
If you don't yet know what I'm talking about, then why don't you read what I so painstakingly type, huh?!

This Saturday 24 March 2012 at the Bioscope Independent Cinema is Rebel Alliance 5: The Empire Strikes Out. Myself and 5 other photographers are doing a music video made up of photographs for the above mentioned V9K song. There are bands, and an illustration/animation mash up with 20 animators.

Go check out Ben Rausch's, So Many Animal Calls blog for more info on the previous events and Saturday's. It's going to be AWESOME. So says RAWKUS TORTOISE!!
