Tohubohu!
Daunted by my (most surely temporary, surely) writer’s block, I gave myself the past week off, opting instead to sip beer and watch lots of television. Including the finale of Friends. I dunno, for a show that became such a pop culture staple, they sure punted on the wrap-up. The hourlong “retrospective” was not much more than yet another clip show, and I thought at least they’d save the last minute or so for a tearing down of the fourth wall, pulling the cameras back to reveal the audience, introducing the cast for a final goodbye. Instead, it’s like they couldn’t rush into E.R. fast enough.
Anyway. This past weekend I got to write about a minute and a half of outro music for one of the teams participating in the 48 Hour Film Project. Here it is: Tohubohu 256 (3MB). Not folk rock. Not particularly better than your average A-Team montage music or anything Jan Hammer came up with for Miami Vice (hey look, Jan’s got a site), but I got to mess around with Reason and Sonar via ReWire, and I’m kinda proud of my overdriven, Chris Squire bass guitar sound.
Goh Nakamura, whom I’ve mentioned before on this site, has released his new album. Yay!
