In case there is any confusion from rumour - Severed Heads are not performing in Sydney as the proposed venue has not proved suitable. The only available performance will be London. Likewise there are no plans for North America.
We remain committed to being dead as possible. Cheers. #music

The February 15 Editon

Last year I composed the soundtrack for 'The Correspondent', a bio of journalist Peter Greste's long imprisonment in Egypt.

The film composer doesn't always get the updates, so I found out from the paper that the movie is coming out soon. The publicity is on! www.smh.com.au/national/the...

Yes and no. Picking up bits of metal is relaxed. Then arrange onto a green screen. Cleaning up the digital matte is the longest bit. Then into 3D where the images are distributed by an algorithm which rearranges the trees as desired.

Still not sure how to animate the bears if at all. #3d #video

Yes but Teddy as well.

Update: we're (Severed Heads) playing London in July - one of the tracks being a mutilation of the Teddy Bears Picnic. The clip is all Bears and Forest made from found bits of metal. Today made the first Forest test: here's a start. As we make more trees the scene gets more 'foresty'. #video #music

Ok had a time out. Let’s try BlueRinse again with some guard rails turned on.

Give me your mastodon address and I’ll ping it

Hi. I’ve tried muting but USA!! USA!! keeps yelling over my back fence. Giving this place a miss for a while. You can find me and stupid pictures at @lardmotel@mastodon.sdf.org

Fun fact: we’ve already been chatting at sdf for 30 years now.

1983 live show through video synthesiser.

1985 TV broadcast with Fairlight CVI effects.

2011 computer graphics - a surreal racing arcade game.

2025 disassembly of the car by ripping and tearing

Images from a live performance video in progress, sequencing versions of our track 'Petrol' from 1983-2025. If the concept works out then I'll develop a few of these mixes in the UK mid year live set.
We constantly update videos - and people aren't noticing. So let's show it.

A special kind of hell equipped with torture racks and the video clips of the abyss. The Gym.

I’m using Openvibe. I’m seeing posts from Nostr. I did not want or select Nostr. Why? Is it paid advertising? #openvibe #nostr

They made one of the actors white and the other green.

Wicked: given the possible result not at all a bad film, a slight smell of Harry Potter but with racism as a core. Less bursting into song than expected, Sets a little AI at times. Wizard as evil Walt Disney is fun. Flying monkeys still scary. #movie

International touring sound fun and exciting until you get to the part with the immigration rules which is just after the spreadsheet with arrival and departure time conflicts.

At least we’re not doing the USA where they basically tell you to piss off. #music #travel

Two esoteric new reviews at the ManCave - the Sonicware Liven Ambient0 and a quick look at the Montage M keys as an alternative to Halion 7 (not really worth it). #musicproduction #synth

I don’t know which is The One but ‘The Amusement Park’ is really the best history of the genre I’ve seen. Really thorough.

I found the opposite. I really didn’t like the Contemporary being turned into The Incredibles Theming Everywhere.

Alan Jones arrested for being a physical sleazeball but not for being a right wing talkback son of a bitch that neutered governments for decades running. Die in there you bastard. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-18/alan-jones-arrested-police-over-alleged-indecent-assault/104612940
