Nonjah Tune - a Digital Vomit Dub compilation

Last call for submissions!

 I'm curating a compilation for the Digital Vomit label/collective, which - since Digital Vomit is open for everyone to join/partake - is open for submissions. It is an invitation to create dub (or rather dubnihilism) tunes, especially going out to artists usually doing working (mostly) in other styles.
this will be a free webrelease.

here's the call on the DV-Board - if interested best go over there, register your free account and join the banter...

"Nonjah Tune"
(a dv in dub compilation)

 - the focus should be, befitting digital vomit, on the "production technique" and one the way elements of dub have found their way into so many different styles.

DEADLINE extented to 5/23/2012 

 guidelines you should consider are:

 this is not intended as a showcase for your latest dubstep tracks'' (because i think there are enough opportunities for that, and i'd rather highlight other aspects and/or a creative of the dub-influence)
make it 'experimental', try to fuse your personal style with dub… or if you're making your very own style of it already, submit a track!! you know it makes sense...
also the title of this compilation should make it clear that if dub/reggae is religious music for you, you should probably be releasing your rockers elsewhere.
send a link to a preferably lossless file to 'hidari [at] gmx (whereupon here inserteth a dot) net'. have fun!

A Video to Sirius

This time around I managed to actually get a video together in time with the release of the new Album.



"Sirius" is the third track on Some Stars not yet Black Holes and originally around 11 minutes long. I decided to go for a shortened video edit with a shortened intro so the beats set in quicker. Then I also decided to master the track differently (with those cr*ppy laptop, etc. speakers in mind)...
You can get the Vinyl via the above link, or the digital goods here: http://tomorohhidari.bandcamp.com/album/some-stars-not-yet-black-holes

The video-footage was filmed on a fiercely outdated (and back then already) cheap digital photo-cam, all around Vienna at night time. This material was further "degraded" before I filmed the Led-Meter on a mixer while playing back the track. this added synced movement. From there on I ventured into unknown (and still not fully understood territories trying different alpha-channel maskings/mixings, before finally cutting the video from the thusly gathered material.

all of my modest video-works can be viewed on my youtubechannel

ps: I still have a half (optimistically) finished video for the Necrophonicon classic "Luciferette and I" laying about... hope I'll find time/muse in the foreseable aons...
