What happens to the young lady taking photographs as part of a class assignment on self portraiture? In still photography, 35mm film comes in up to 36 frames on a roll of film. Frame 37 is an extra frame. If you are careful when you load the film, you may get more than 36 images on a single roll. In this case, "Frame 37" represents a frame of film the young lady never took yet still shows up on the roll. Be prepared for "Frame 37". This was my second ever short video/film. Please also look for "Secrets". Enjoy.
This piece was composed with Acid Pro. Computer animation was done with Bryce 3D. Video editing was done with Sony Vegas. Enjoy. Comments welcome.
The Somnambulants: "Take It On"
Stylistically, The Somnambulants are even more driven by cinematic influence, as evidenced in their lyrical imagery and spacious production. Joseph White built the first Somnambulants songs from music soundtrack pieces composed during his tenure as a film student. In fact, their name was taken from the somnambulist character Cesare - in the 1920 German film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Its fitting, therefore, that the title track from their previous album, Evacuation, appeared in the soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated film Half Nelson (Lakeshore Records).
The longer versions of these tracks, featuring Jack DeJohnette and Foday Musa Suso will be available on the album by "The Ripple Effect" :"Hybrids" released October 4th 2005 on Jack's label "Golden Beams Productions".
The Project: The Ripple Effect was conceived of as a project to blend some of the elements of modern electronica/dance music with previously recorded music by Jack DeJohnette and some of his collaborators. All of the music on this album was taken from multitrack recordings. Some elements were added, sometimes overdubbed and edited, while other parts were omitted. The structure and composition were altered, but the musicality was retained. While staying true to the original?s feel, a new piece of music was created.
We believe this hybridization of styles is a part of the natural developmental flow of music. Enjoy.
The Artists: As a leader, composer and drummer, Jack DeJohnette has supported some of the most important and innovative musicians of our time, including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Carlos Santana, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. Widely regarded as one of jazz music?s greatest drummers, DeJohnette?s playing has long drawn on sources beyond "jazz." Never willing to sit still long enough to be categorized, he was already describing his work as "multi-directional music" thirty years ago. See http://www.jackdejohnette.com for more information.
Foday Musa Suso is an internationally recognized kora (West African 21-stringed harp lute) virtuoso and a Mandingo griot.Born in The Gambia, Suso grew up in a society where griots function as walking libraries, singing their stories for the community while providing history, wisdom and entertainment. Suso has performed and recorded worldwide with many prominent musicians including Herbie Hancock, Philip Glass, Pharoah Sanders, Ginger Baker and Bill Laswell.

"Angry Kid" series 2: Sex Call
A call to a phone sex line results in talk about "choppers" and "gear knobs" and "horns." But are they referring to the same thing? Angry Kid speaks out! From Aardman Animations, home of Wallace and Gromit and one of Britain's biggest film production companies, comes more of the anarchic, irreverent, and frequently stubborn Angry Kid. A mixture of live action and animation, this youth is definitely NOT suitable for family viewing. More than ten million people gagged along with the first Angry Kid series, and now the brat is back with grosser, cruder and edgier humor. Angry Kid is not claymation, but a combination of pixilation, mask replacement and live action. It involves taking a live actor, sitting perfectly still and being moved like a puppet, while masks are replaced, to give the effect of speech and shot frame by frame. It doesn't really have a name - Darren Walsh invented it!
The image of the sound, the sound of the image
Basic idea was to create a image of the sound and a sound of the image. "Author" of the music is my software "LvB's X" (virtual music composer) then I made arrangement. The animation - renderer: ART VPS RenderPipeMAX. Audio: Cubase VST, CoolEdit and samples from CD/DVD: "Computer Music", "MusicTech", "Future Music" and "homemade". Realization: 1.-idea development 1995-2003 2.-software and 3D models 2001-2004 3.-animating 3D models and music 2002-2005 4.-final video october 2005. Now, I will try to make DVD with 12 videos. Each one will be dedicated parallelly to one musical instrument and to one month illustrated corresponding temper / mood / weathering factors / atmospheric agents (sun, moon, rain, snow, wind, fog, aurora borealis, dew, clouds, rainbow,...). I hope it can be done at the end of 2007. Broadcasting quality of this video you can download here www.lvbsx.com.
