Nuut on Artella

1 min read
Ahoy out there! Finally making progress on the concept trailer for my project, Nuut. I've set it up on the collaborative platform Artella - so if there's any of you out there who feel like collaborating on a bad-ass animated project that's not all cuddly ponies and superheroes*, please take a gander and get in touch.

Nuut - Concept Trailer

*don't get me wrong, the ponies are actually pretty funny and I'll be first in line for the next superhero joint. But sometimes you want whiskey, not fruit juice.

Last year flew by like nothing else - finally I've come back out of the haze, with a pair of new music videos that I'll post this week.

The first is a lovely collaboration with Kieran Rynhart to create the music video for Rhian Sheehan's "Little Sines". If you have any love for Sigur Ros, you'll really enjoy this one. It's a dreamy tale set in a forgotten world...

For those who've been waiting patiently for it, the video for Module's "The Pieces Fit" will be up on around Tuesday. It's been a bit of harrowing, drawn-out gestation for this baby and I'm pretty relieved to finally have it out there! Here's a wee tease I posted earlier - C:Lux in the studio by redkidOne

Enjoy!

It's finally finished. The music video for "Dignity" from Immram has been locked down after a very long, tiring, relationship-straining last few months. Huzzah!

I totally promise that it is epic, over-the-top, psychedelic space fantasy awesomeness! If you're even vaguely into rock or electronic music, sci-fi or fantasy, animation or 80's films, or just like cool stuff, then you'll really enjoy it. This kind of boasting declaration is pretty uncharacteristic for me, but this video has allowed me to bring all the things I love together and breathe life into what I normally only get to illustrate, so I'm kind of excited.

The official unveiling of this 8-and-a-half-minutes of rock opera will happen next Friday the 18th of May at 01:01:01 EST on DeviantArt as well as Youtube and Vimeo. Just to keep you all primed, here's a wee teaser of the final result:

Armageddon 2011

Hey there all of y'all who are heading to the Auckland Armageddon convention! We're going to be having a stand for Immram - Voyage of the Corvus Corrone, so I'm going to be around for the full 4 days. If any of you are going to be there, let me know, it'd be great to meet up - or if you have a stand too, I'd be keen as to check out what you've got.

See you there!

Okay, so more shameless promotion!

Immram - The Voyage of the Corvus Corrone is out now. The re-mastered, re-mixed and re-packaged album is available for purchase through the official site www.voyageofthecorvuscorrone.com with both physical and digital versions on offer. Or, if you like it in ITunes, the album is available there with an exclusive PDF version of the book.

On the main site you'll find the trailer, a full-length player of the album, previews of the book and artwork, plus a background to the strange history of the album: from the mysterious circumstances of it's recording, the tragedy of it's disappearance, and the flat-out miracle of it's re-discovery. Immram is a real return to the age when listening to an album was a full experience - where the music, the lyrics, and the packaging were all clues in a journey of discovery. Unravelling the meaning behind the lyrics from clues in the artwork. Noticing the different musical styles of the musicians listed in the liner notes. Understanding the concept of what you are listening to right now by seeking out it's past.

As a bit of a taster, here's a few previews I've posted on DA: Voyage of the Corvus Corrone by redkidOne Immram - To Liberty by redkidOne Immram - Dignity by redkidOne Immram - Novi Orbis by redkidOne The Corvus Corrone by redkidOne

You can probably tell, there's a generous helping of steampunk flavour to the whole thing. It definitely sounds like the soundtrack to a steam-fantasy film that was never made - somewhere between Vangelis and Pink Floyd, the cousin of the Labyrinth and Dark Crystal.

Enjoy!
