New song and video powered by Casio goodness!

New song and video powered by Casio goodness!

2015-03-23 by gmeredith1@...

Hey everyone, my band "Warning Will Robinson" has just released our new single "Element 123":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0HUr55tY8E


It features lots of funky 80's Casio gear - AZ-1 keytar, PG380 synth guitar, Casio eDrums drum kit, synth sounds are from VZ-10M!


Enjoy!


Cheers, Graham


PS anyone else with music/video to share, please feel free to promote your stuff - we want to hear it, especially if it's with Casio gear!

Thanks everyone! it was a lot of fun doing it - especially cause it was our first time we played around with blue screen video overlay stuff. It makes me realize how lame and cheap a lot of song videos really are - just get the band members to dance to their song in front of a blue screen and then add whatever screen saver you find from the internet behind them - no effort required. I mean, ours is rough and primitive and we probably broke every "don't do" rules regarding video technique in our ignorance. But honestly, a surprising amount of music clips are just totally boring and nasty - no clever artistic thought to the video content matching the song lyrics or meaning. I'm assuming bands pay someone good money to make these clips for them - and probably charge them a lot. We did ours with one old mini-DV camera, and a 10 year old computer - cost: zero. I should go into business :D


Christseen: the instrument I'm twiddling is a 1960's Yanagimoto Polarograph, where I work here in the Chemistry school at the University of Tasmania. This place is full of ancient old retired instruments in our storeroom dungeon. I'd like to pull the boards out of it and fit an analogue synth into it or some circuit bent gadget and use it for music....although it probably wouldn't be very good for live performances, it weighs a ton!


Cheers, Graham

That would be - WAY KOOL !!!

Yeah I've been toying with similar ideas, using a tube tester or the like.

Yr vid ROCKS for sure and is masterful for yr 1st go indeed.

I love how it's 3:21 in length. Don't know if that's haps or purposeful.

Hope you break that code and get the gold. You deserve it :)

Graham,

Finally got around to watching your video. FANTASTIC!! Love the song - really rocks. Great to see your drum set in use! Good job on the PG380 too. Very cool stuff.

-Tom

Thanks , Tom! Sorry I've been out of touch - I've been slaving over a hot band writing songs, doing videos etc - as well as looking after 3 little munchkins at home. They're all getting interested in music, maybe they'll form Warning Will Robinson 2.0 when I retire - although, hold on, this is already what I wanted to do when I retire |-)


How have you been? Any projects? Yes it has been great to be able to give the Casio gear the exposure it deserves. That drum kit feels remarkably good to play - although that kick drum makes a lot of acoustic noise, like kicking a wooden box - I need to get around to stuffing it with some sort of insulation sometime.


Cheers, graham

Hi Graham,

No problem, been busy here too. I did do a circuit-bent Casio CT-360, that I'm actually not quite finished with yet, but you can see some pictures of it at my new site: <http://barkonarova.weebly.com/space-gristle.html> I named it the "Space Gristle." HA!

My latest project is a family one. I've gotten a whole bin of audio tapes that my grandfather recorded from the 50's through 80's, I guess. There are about 30 reel-to-reel tapes and around 100 cassettes. He was a short-wave (HAM) radio operator and regularly talked to the guys at the the US Navy South Pole station in the 60's. It seems he recorded a lot of that stuff. Really interesting to listen to. I know Antarctica is not too far from you, so it's probably not as exciting as it is for us, but from here it's a LONG way away. :-)

I bought an old reel-to-reel recorder from 1956, which I think is similar to the one he had, and have been refurbishing it so I can listen to the reels. This thing is a monster! Weighs about 50 pounds. It has a tube amp inside and is really cool.

I think this project will keep me out of trouble for quite a while... ;-)
