PreciseHero

Here’s a taste of one of the more special gems from “Canon”. A collaboration between my psychedelicate brothers, Starling Electric & myself. And if you just can’t get enough of the tune, here’s a visual treat I shot a few years ago while enjoying a nature trail, transformed through a bit of A/V alchemy.

Similar to “Particle (moments)”, “Canon” will have material pulled from a number of sources that I’ve created. One of those tracks that you may not have heard is “Talking In The Void”. Enjoy it now in visual format.

If you ever had a question regarding PreciseHero, it was probably answered here. If it hasn’t feel free to ask it either here or here.

Welcome to the inaugural entry in the official WonderKind 202 blog! You’re just in time to see a mock-up of the cover art for my upcoming project, “Canon”. Sure, there’s been some web-released singles, EP’s, & projects here & there, but this is the official follow-up to 2007’s “Particle (moments)”. I’m collecting the best stuff I’ve done recently, as well as some freshly crafted material and getting it out to the world. And, here’s something else worth mentioning - “Canon” will be heading your way in August via River-City Music Entertainment, Inc. The August release tradition continues! Stay tuned for more news + happenings in future transmissions.

Introduced to Tadahiro Uesugi’s gallery of illustrations via Gigi D.G.’s list of influences. Didn’t know this was the same artist behind one of the few 3DS games that caught my attention, “Nazo Waku Yakata”.

I’ve really been in a fantasy/adventure mood this week. Spending a bit of time watching a few movies filled with dragons, wizards, quest, legendary swords, kingdoms, damsels, and all that sort of stuff. I think the universe is trying to tell me something.

I’ve got this entire Saturday off & the best part of Saturday is Saturday morning cartoons! My animation pick for this morning was (finally) watching the first episode of “Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine” & it’s pretty good stuff. I’m already enamored with the art style and score. The art reminds me of 70’s anime like “Ashita no Joe” or something Bill Plympton would do, or to bring it back to anime, “Kemonozume”. The soundtrack seems to be composed of jazz & light pop. I think I’ll be keeping up with this series & seeing where it goes. On the subject of cartoons, I’ve been watching a lot of “Transformers” & “G.I. Joe” on Netflix lately and enjoying the crap out of the both of them. Amazing that these shows still hold up after all this time & might be a bit more awesome now that I’m an adult and can appreciate them on a different level. There’s a touch of the ol’ “This is a show that I was really into when I was a kid” too, but it’s awesome none the less.

I had to highlight this awesome image by Viviane Sassen.

Theatrical quality animation is always a treat.

The Vita library looks to be beefing up. A Mexican-themed side scrolling beat ‘em up with Metroidvania influences & cool art direction? You know I’m all about this!

I’ve been on a break from photographing lately, but I’ll be getting my hands on a lot of Impossible Project & Instax 210 films soon and there’s some adventures planned for the future so, that may about change. I think a change of locale is what I really need to ignite my photographer’s spirit again.

Childish Gambino is really doin’ it with the features lately.

Eddie Gordo is who Dee Jay wish he could be.

Welcome to the second episode of Good Job. Our new show where we look at the well known, and not so well known jobs in the video game and film industry. Today we’re talking to Nateon Ajello from Mixamo, where magical things happen in the world of animation and motion capture. Nateon happens to be a student at a martial arts studio run by the original body actor for 1997’s Tekken 3’s capoeira master, Eddy Gordo. So we got the two together to make magical motion capture things happen, marking the 15th anniversary of Marcelo’s video game debut

Four corner store has a nice 110 camera & I’ve been kinda curious about the 110mm films.. hm… Will I dive into something new?

I had no idea that Pop was such a popular character for “Dai no Daibouken” fan art…

Everyday needs a touch of funk.

Nobody in Detroit gives a f**k about Detroit hip-hop. Nobody. Nobody in Detroit knows who J. Dilla is. Nobody in Detroit knows who Black Milk is. It’s pretty much a dumb-ass city. A city of followers. They’re on that radio sh*t. The hip-hop circle is very small & it’s frustrating because you get stuck in that vein of trying to earn the respect of a city that’s never really going to respect you. They’ll look at you like a weirdo like, ‘Why does your music sound like that?’ Not understanding that the way that music sounds reverberated almost more strongly throughout the entire f**kin’ universe than any other form of hip-hop.

Some pretty harsh words about the city, but I can’t say that I disagree with too much that he said. This place, man… but it’s home…

Some negative comments in Touch Arcade’s post, but I still wanna check this out.

I remember watching an early trailer for this game a long time ago. Good to see that it’s not only getting a release, but landing on the Vita.

A nod toward a new album? Sounds like it from this blurb on Third Man’s site:

Both tracks were recorded in 2011 while Beck was in Nashville working on new material for his long awaited next album. The songs spontaneously came together at the Third Man studio on Beck’s final day in town.

I’ll definitely be keeping an ear out.

It’s about time for a hardcover edition of “The Black Axe” isn’t it?

In an “Electric Ladyland” mood.
