Abstract_Soundscape_01

So this is a modified version of a comissioned piece I made for an experimental short film by my friend and creative colleague, Ahmad Samara. I thought it came out very adaptable to different situations image and content-wise.
It could even be used on its own as a kind of an acoustic "brain-cleaner". If you need your ears to be cleaned out of a repeating annoying song, an affliction also known as "having an earworm"- try this out. It worked for me. Now I just think about the long echoes in the track, and that's somehow soothing. The picture I chose to go along with it is of one of my favourite subjects: street lamps shining through trees at night. I think it fits with the whole nocturnal feel.

Enjoy.

Jellyfish Animation Fun

This is what happens when your client tells you to get creative.
You start off animating some jellyfish that are needed for an underwater scene.
Then you think they look like they're dancing.
So you make some music to go along with it.
Then you start making patterns out of the little creatures. And you end up spending half the day playing instead of paying attention to the deadline looming on the horizon. But you don't judge yourself too harshly, because today was technically a holiday in Germany, anway, right? I think there was some suppressed need to animate colourful wobbly organic things in me for years now...what a relief! So here is the result of today's creativity. Enjoy! :-)
