Morphcast #2: Spectrums Redefined

Please subscribe to our Morphcast (Current subscribers need only open iTunes or their feed reader to receive latest video update)

Morphed Productions is proud to announce it's 3rd podcast release, Morphcast #2: Spectrums Redefined. Delivered by the narrative stylings of Noah Mickens, we are walked through a labyrinthe of music and sounds produced at the MP studio, offering up the razor's edge of the sub-underground audio spectrum, diversity and multimedia cross-platforms to any appreciator of exquisite experiments of audio explorations and visual medias both post produced or performed live.

Previous Morphcasts have been delivered as mp3 or enhanced AAC, but this time around we decided to go by way of video podcast. We feel this format is the most straightforward for the end-user to experience our podcasts on not only iPODs or PC, but video capable internet phones and mobile devices. And though Morphed Productions is purely focused on custom music and sound production, we think you'll enjoy the video/photo colliages that accompany our podcast. Accompanying imagery will be from performances, projects and our own digital manipulations, headed by sound designer and visual artitst extraordinaire, Jason Cesarz, aka noyouyesme.

Also, featuring a studio session with Gabriel Darling and company, music, writings and general post apocalyptic dream-gazing.

This Morphcast includes the original trailer for the Morphed Productions open-source multimedia project, "New World Horror". For more info, click the banner:

New World Horror


(An open source multimedia project for, well...not necessarily a movie. )

Download audio in high quality wav and mp3 from our website and then post back to this thread with your own version. This piece is also available on our Morphcast.

Open call for submissions, commercial visual venturists and independent video artitsts alike:

We do music production and sound design here at Morphed Studios, though some of us are visual arists as well we are by no means film producers. This is where you come in!

So, you think you can do it better? We do too.

In this project, anything goes for visuals you want to employ. Maybe you want to actually film 'actors' or supply real footage, or maybe it's graphics animation or digital imaging you create, it's totally up to you. A/V Remixes are encouraged as well. You download the audio from our site, produce your version and POST TO THIS BLOG THREAD.

WHY?

The direction of the piece became more apparent during production as a style or genre of storytelling we decided to dub, 'Reality Horror', a slightly comedic, overblown realization of the often insane world we live in. Since we are not cinematographers we decided to offer it to the video community to see what you all could do with it. Ultimately the point here is to provide an open and creative platform with less than commercial aspirations in its outcome, but with all the elements of professional production, on a topic that many of us are having to restle with more and more as the current socio-political world stage intensifies. In the process, all involved will help to create an environment for others to witness not only all of our skills, but our processing and understanding of the world around us, as a human collective of minds and ideas.

We will stream the original trailer live from The Someday Lounge in Portland on October 28th, 2008, for an event called "IT", over a live a/v stream and again in a few months after a 'best of' has been collected. Ultimately the point here is to provide an open and creative platform with less than commercial aspirations in its outcome, but with all the elements of professional production, on a topic that many of us are having to restle with more and more as the current socio-political world stage intensifies. Welcome to The Theatre.
