Fact Mag : Against The Clock REMIX

Fact Mag have a video series called “Against The Clock” where they give producers 10 minutes to come up with something and sit with them in their studios as they do it. I also did a interview with FACT that you can read here. 

Terminator Remix

I’m a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.
I was originally designed for assassination missions.
Your clothes, your boots and your motor cycle… Give them to me.
Guess who’s back?

Light Saber

If you haven’t at some point in your life waved your hands about making Light Saber noises imagining you’re defeating Darth Vader then this isn’t the video for you. Star Wars VII is fast approaching, but not fast enough, so for the second time this year I’m revisiting the first six movies this time taking on the trusty Jedi’s Light Saber. .

The original lightsaber sound effect was developed by legendary sound designer Ben Burtt as a combination of the hum of idling interlock motors in old movie projectors and interference caused by a television set on a shieldless microphone - a sound Ben Burtt discovered by accident as he was looking for a buzzing, sparking sound to add to the projector-motor hum.

The pitch changes of lightsaber movement were produced by playing the basic lightsaber tone on a loudspeaker and recording it on a moving microphone, generating Doppler shift to sound like movement.

According Obi-Wan Kenobi  in A New Hope, light sabers are “not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.”

A Brief History of House Music

The history of house music in 3 and a half minutes. Thanks to DJ MAG for premiering it, feel free to join the debate over at their page post of it. Obviously doing a “definitive” history of house in under 4 minutes so feel free to tell me what i missed.

Jean-Claude Van Damme Green Screen REMIX

Meta Hip Hop is a rap tune made out of other rap tunes. 80+ Hip Hop tunes sampled but the samples all rhyme together. Full lyrics are in the video description.

Love / Hate Remix

Since moving back to Europe I’ve been spending a lot of time in Ireland. My friend Aaron Heffernan got me into the TV Show “Love/Hate” in which he plays a police officer called Gavin. So I made this remix of the show featuring sprinklings of Gavin and all the swearing , drug taking and violence which has made the show the most viewed TV drama in Ireland. The show is coming soon to Netflix so the whole world can enjoy it too. I’m going to be back in Dublin playing at The Palace Nightclub on 28th,29th and 31st of this month.

Droids of Star Wars

Star Wars 7 is around the corner so it’s time to summarize the last 6 movies in remix. First up is DROIDS. In the process of making it I couldn’t resist also making a video of R2D2 with subtitles. I’ll be doing a few more of these this year leading up to the release of SW7. So far on the Star Wars tip i’ve also done DARKSIDE and YODA. At the end of this month I’ll be back in Dublin for a few nights at the Palace Nightclub . Lot’s more video remixery coming soon.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

This Saturday night i am doing a Video DJ set at The Palace Nightclub in DUBLIN

2001 : A Remix

It’s taken me till 2014 to remix 2001, but with the film relaunching in British cinemas, I thought now would be a great time to do it. This mix contains almost every scientific prediction in the film mixed with the space age synth sounds that were just around the corner. Much that Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke predicted has come to pass - touch screen portable computers, video phones, Space Stations, in-seat video entertainment, computers beating humans at chess. So far though, Siri hasn’t switched off anybody’s life support.

The original had minimal dialogue, communicating through moving images. The monolith was built on a 1 : 4 : 9 ratio (the squares of the first three integers), the same ratio as a cinema screen on its side. When the humans/monkeys see the monolith it enlightens them, when the screen goes black, you, the viewer, are now looking at the monolith on it’s side enlightening you. Whether true or not, Kubrick hid many many objects with this ratio throughout the film. The whole film is built on an electro-version of the legendary “Also Sprach Zarathustra” by Richard Strauss.

Barcelona Weekend

If you happen to be in Barcelona, tonight (7th Nov 2014) I will be doing an AV set using Vidibox with multiple iPads 7PM at MIRA FESTIVAL. Then tomorrow night I will be giving a brief talk followed by a screening of my videos at ART FUTURA at 9pm. 

#OxfamSong

Over 2014 Oxfam has been collecting video and audio samples at many music festival. They then gave me all the samples and I made an Audio-Visual piece. Thanks to all the people who created samples for us to work. The video also features The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Danny and the Champions, Editors, Eliza Doolittle, Foals, Heydon Prowse, Warpaint, John Newman, Simon Pegg and The Bohicas.

Ghostbusters

It’s Halloween and it’s been 30 years since Ghostbusters was released so I’m hitting two bats with one pumpkin with this Ghostbusters remix. Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd’s classic gets the rewind…..streams are crossed, Zuul prepares us for the coming of Gozer and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man appears in all his guises.

Whilst on the topic of BILL MURRAY, this Thursday (30th Oct) I am Audio DJing (no video) for the launch of Hungry Castle’s new collection “The Shit Collection” which features a Bill Murray shirt.
