ONA ZETTA
I just came across these videos directed by my good friend Jorge Torres, they're from a dvd he did set to the music we made as a band called ONA ZETTA. Probably the most rewarding major musical collaboration I've ever been a part of, Ona Zetta started as 4 track recordings Jorge did on his own, then we imported them into my old Power PC computer and I rearranged them a little (or a lot, depending) and added new computer stuff and loops and shit. Then he, his brother Jean and I learned how to play all the songs live for the one show we ever played (opening up for drone-meisters PELT). Then Jorge moved away to athens, GA and we never really worked on anything again. Which is a real shame, because i think all 3 of us got really excited about the results and possibilities of O.Z... AH WELL. We also sat on an offer from bubblecore records to release the EP we'd made, because we naively thought we could capture lightning in a bottle TWICE via long distance collaboration. Needless to say, that never happened and we should have let them release the EP.
Anyhow, Jorge later made this long continuous video of the album and apparently put some of it up on youtube. I think it turned out really nicely, here you go you can check it out for yourself:

Magically yours
"Spartan_Worries"
OH MAN. so the Magik Show at the Pony Club was a complete success!
click this image to see a photoset of the whole show:
I've also scanned and uploaded my own contributions to the show here. I ended up doing a lot of painting with gouache, which I'm getting really into.
"Hidden Ghosts"
"Hongry Man"
Here are the two things I did I'm most proud of.
"Wizard Battle 1: Necro-Nurse VS. Cumulus Apprentice" - The bottom layers are silkscreened on one piece of paper which I split in two and then painted the figures on in gouache. Click here to see it big.
"Chasing the Godhead", 22"x11" - I started with Higgins ink washes and then painted into it with gouache and did some of the finishing touches with pen. Click here to see it big.
All in all both curating and working in these new directions were very rewarding, tiring, and exciting!
