At work...

i am dave — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:20:33 GMT

I set up a small ruby daemon that takes pictures using my isight cam every 30 seconds. This video showcases about 5 hours of my work day. I plan on making a gigantic movie that spans the course of the work week... maybe even the month. 617 images.

I recorded a song with a friend this weekend. We decided to cover Porcupine Tree's Feel So Low masterpiece.

You can listen to it in my profile music player, or you can download it below.

We added a bit of a Sigur Ros and The Frames vibe. I think we made it 'our own'.

Vlog - Relaxing at home with a bottle of wine... and writing musics!

i am dave — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 15:38:50 GMT

It was a crazy week with ups and downs, but mostly downs. You know when you try to take a friendship to the next level, but the other party involved doesn't feel the same? Yea... not only does that create awkwardness, but it pretty much destroys a good friendship. Anyways, what better way to escape for awhile than playing some guitar and drinking some wine... Smoking Loon in particular!

Tuneage

i am dave — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 02:57:12 GMT

I wrote and recorded a new song with my buddy this past weekend. Here's the outcome. There aren't any vocals yet... because we couldn't think of anything good. There's a pretty cool guitar solo that comes in around 4:21 ;-)

Nord

The Fools We Were (Radio Edit)

i am dave — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:09:18 GMT

I uploaded a new song today. It's titled "The Fools We Were". The original version is about 6:30 minutes. After the necessary radio chops, splices and slices it weighs in at 3:50. Give it a listen. Treat your ears to something fantastic today.

Video

i am dave — Sun, 08 Jul 2007 20:06:05 GMT

Being the complete nerd I am, I decided to conjure up a youtube clone where I can upload videos, it converts them, and spits out a converted video in a player. Here's my first attempt at it. It just so happens the video is recording related, so I decided to post it here!

The video is of my friend Dan recording a guitar part to a new song we're working on.

Some new tuneage...

i am dave — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 02:40:28 GMT

I've got some new tuneage goin' on in my song player on my profile. Go check it. It's called "Paper Knives (Robots from the Pacific Palisades)"

Zam Ka Pow - My new side project

i am dave — Tue, 29 May 2007 03:02:08 GMT

I decided to start a new side project called "Zam Ka Pow!" (http://myspace.com/zamkapow). It currently only consists of me. You can hear a sample of what Zam Ka Pow sounds like on my main profile page. Just recorded this tune today. It's not totally complete, but you get the idea. If you dig bands like !!! (chk chk chk), NIN, or Ratatat, then you'll dig this.

Rock.

self determination

i am dave — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 00:50:28 GMT

Awesome video from Cory Doctorow on self determination and the large picture, relating to technology mostly. Cory Doctorow is probably best known for http://boingboing.net/. Check out his blog http://www.craphound.com/

Show

i am dave — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 20:05:00 GMT

I've got a show tomorrow in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (about an hour from where I live). Should be fun. Haven't played out in awhile because I haven't had the time, so I made time. Sometimes you just gotta do that for yourself.

We've got about an hour to play, so we picked 9 originals. We'll see how many we get through.

Time to restring the guitar now, buy some new 9 volt batteries for the pedals (I keep it old skool), and of course buy some new guitar picks.

On another note. The pack of guitar picks I'm going to buy... yea... I bet when Monday rolls around I'll be missing every single one of those picks. lol
