Published! Music Videos "Spring Forth" on DVD!

I am very happy to announce the availability of "Four Worlds", a DVD of four of my computer-animated music videos (over 22 minutes of videos)... and for those of you who have seen prior smaller YouTube versions of some of these, the music has now been updated and re-recorded, and the animations have been embellished and re-rendered in high-quality full-screen DVD format... and there is even a new never-before seen video, "Game the System" making its premiere only on this DVD.

I have personally written all the music, created/textured/animated all the accompanying computer-generated video scenes, and designed the printed jacket for the DVD case. I have also recorded a separate video teaser/trailer, to offer a taste of what is on the video, in case you are interested in purchasing a copy. Note that the video below is reduced-size to fit on this blog page. If you wish to see the trailer full-size, you may wish to CLICK HERE INSTEAD to view it directly on the product page:


Here is the official "text" announcement:

Come journey through four different surreal worlds... some playful, some mysterious, all of them thought-provoking. Each video has its own original music soundtrack composed to go hand-in-hand with the video.

#1 - Game the System - Frolic through a video-game fantasy world of kaleidoscopic excitement. Will you avoid the strange whirling parasols? Can you count all 10 sneaky sheep?

#2 - The Cherry Orchid - Float through a garden of crystal flowers, growing in a serene liquid pool at sunset.

#3 - Nebula Spin - Stroll through the nebula-hood with three chatty molecules as they search for the nearest star.

#4 - Glacially Inevitable - Experience glacial beauty and inevitable entropy... where time and music seem frozen, and icy sharp.

This NTSC region-free DVD contains over 22 minutes of animation. The 4 videos can be played individually, or sequentially in a loop.
You can find more information about this DVD (including on-line ordering) here: - Four Worlds Product Page -

I hope you enjoy this journey with me!

The Technoids have landed!

It is official, today! Now available is the high-quality DVD of the music video 'Dance of the Technoids', with an extra 12+ minute "behind-the-scenes" interview with yours truly about how I wrote the music and created the 3D graphics, as well as a solo guitar performance by Ian. It is now available for purchase at
'The Lost Records' on-line music store.




It is a great joyful relief to have completed this huge project... now it is time to focus on my family, especially my wife who has worked at least as hard as I to make this happen. I owe her everything, with my eternal love.
ttfn,
Drakonis

I see the runway...

I can feel it... this Technoid DVD project is almost complete! The video shoot for the 12 minute "Behind the Scenes" feature is complete, editing is done, and a final draft of the video is ready for OK'ing... I am very pleased with the results! I show the music-writing software and the 3D computer ray-tracing software I used for this. There's also a very sweet recording of Ian playing a solo piece on his guitar on the DVD... we drove up to his place and set up mics and the video camera, and he gave a very solid performance in the soft light of the living room there.



As always, there are little smirky in-jokes sprinkled through this video... including the meaning of the Japanese sign on the door to the studio.

It took some research and shareware fees to find a good way to capture the Mac screen to show how I write music and create the 3D computer animations... I can heartily recommend iShowU, a very nice Macintosh shareware utility for video-capturing moving screen things.
