THE GONE HAPTICS: William Gibson reads first chapter of his new novel The Peripheral

May 13, 2013 – 00:20 |

They didn’t think Flynn’s brother Burton had PTSD but that sometimes the gone haptics would glitch him, they said it was like phantom limb, ghosts of the tattoos he had worn in the war, put there to tell him when to run, when …

FRIDAY FILMS: Analog and Seed

Submitted by damage on July 6, 2012 – 13:53

Back in the business from the world’s second hottest capital. Look grateful. I’m writing this post during the 2-hour time window when my brainmeat actually delivers production. What I have for you now is films – full-length and trailer-phase -, sent to me by readers of ROCK!

ANALOG tells the tale of a machine traveling in deep-space which has as a primary function the preservation of a living organism: a man. Strange events with biblical analogies begin to occur, disturbing the machine and making it rethink it’s priorities. (more on analog’s vimeo page)

I wrote about Analog last March when its trailer was released on QuietEarth – now Ebbeto, mastermind behind Analog dropped me a mail and sent me the link to this wonderful monochrome monogatari – expect longer review when the brain is not overheated – YOU ROCK!

SEED (2012) Teaser Trailer from Tyson Wade Johnston on Vimeo.

Set in the year 2071, where technology has brought mankind to the brink of colonization on a planet named Gaia, one man takes on an isolated mission and discovers unearthly horrors that could bring an end to life on this planet. (more on seed’s vimeo page)

This was one sent over by Jeremy Stanz – short’s by the same Tyson Wade Johnston who did Exist last year. Looks intriguing and there’s certainly a chance of any spacefaring colonizer meeting him/herself in any hostile environment, hope it doesn’t come to that point. Or I hope it does! (Thx, Jeremy!)

HOW TO make your infographics CV (tutorial)

Just spent a few days doing a completely new infographics CV from scratch, learned how to use Illustrator, completely rehashed my sleeping cycle and ended up doing something that looks like a vector sunflower on acid. That’s me. If you want some ideas on how to something similar, click in. I bear gifts of strangeness in the blog womb!

ADVICE FOR BANDS: from Jeremy Dawson of Shiny Toy Guns

I have a huge interest in video tutorials/advice videos on self-promotion, self-branding and creative processes. Long-time readers might remember my fits of posting Zoog/Angelspit’s blipverts on how to work on lyrics, drop the bass or form band cohesion – now it’s time for …
