The latest footage from the "Everything That Grownups Know" video!
There's a nice writeup about The Simple Carnival and Smitten 3D in the Pittsburgh City Paper.
A lot of work is being done on the "Everything That Grownups Know" video, and you can catch a bit of it here:
A new song from the Smitten 3D project is up! It's called "Everything That Grownups Know" and you can listen to it here:
This song features the fantastic Chris Belin on drums. I'm playing all the other instruments.
I'm currently working on the 3D video for this song, and plan to release segments from it on YouTube as they're completed.
Get the digital download here!
Songs and Sonics, the blog about songwriting and music production that I used to run, is back!
Except I'm not running it.
A robot is.
After I stopped updating the site a couple years ago, I found myself missing the insights that the interviewees regularly provided. I wanted to bring the blog back, but my life is much busier now, and I really don't have the time for researching, digesting back catalogs, conducting interviews, and editing articles like I used to.
So what's a guy to do?
Build a robot, of course!
This is J-Bot, and he's programmed to dispense helpful songwriting and music production tricks at regular intervals.
He's also capable of interviewing artists about their work.
Seriously.
The questions he asks other artists will be just as much of a surprise to me as they will be to you.
So check it out! There will be a new article at least every other day for the foreseeable future, starting on August 29th.
A new, close-to-final audio mix of the song "Smitten" is up! Here's the new mix...
If you previously bought a "Smitten" music digital download, you should have received an e-mail with links to the new mix.
In other news, a second song for the Smitten 3D project is almost mixed, and I'll be kicking the video-making into high gear soon...
Wanna know a secret? The Simple Carnival's critically acclaimed 2008 debut album, Girls Aliens Food, can be downloaded in its entirety FOR FREE on this site until 6/29/2011 midnight EST. There's no catch, nothing to sign up for -- just go to this page, click the "Free" button, and enjoy!
Welcome to the new simplecarnival.com! The title track video for the Smitten 3D project has finally been released... Put on your red/cyan 3D glasses, and play it loud!
The "Smitten" music digital download is available ONLY through this site.
Of course, CDs are still being offered, but Smitten 3D will not be released in that format. The songs for Smitten 3D will be released one at a time as digital downloads as I complete them. Eventually there will be a DVD/Blu-ray/some video format release, but that won't be for a long time. See the FAQ for more.
