Celestiial & Ballet Deviare

Taken from the press release:
“Ballet Deviare presents “Disconsolate”, a nine-minute experimental dance film directed by Adam Waltner. “Disconsolate” is a powerful, soul-entrancing depiction which illustrates the depths of human suffering. Set to “Waldlander im Herbst” from the funeral doom phenomenon CELESTIIAL (Tanner Anderson), the piece evokes a feeling and mood that is as hypnotic as it is effecting.”

Celestiial’s work to date has been released on Bindrune Recordings. It’s a label I helped found with Marty “To Old Too Cold” Rytkonen (who now carries the torch nobly). Tanner Anderson is the spark in the Celestiial petri dish. It’s from him that the energy rises to coagulate the moss and mud into the primordial doom he’s become known for. He is also a good guy. His vision and intent is pure. As odd as this collaboration might seem on the surface, I’m happy as hell for him.

Angoscia e nausea (Anguish and nausea)

I stumbled upon this while gathering the url’s for couple of other videos that are available on the Samples page. Had no idea about, looks like it went up within the last month. The soundtrack is a song from my 2002 release Chronicling The Famine called “Underneath The Luminous Poison”

Eyes Wide Pus

A crony of mine did the 48 Hour Film Festival last weekend. This is what they came up with.  From no idea to finished film in 48 hours.

Dream Long Dead – Water

I intended on having a couple other things written for this space in the last few days, but I got that doo-hickey that lets me burn cassettes into the computer so I have been fixating on that. Until I have something better to say,  here is another short film where someone used my music for the soundtrack. I didn’t have anything to do with this one either.

Godfish Collective

This video was posted on the old site for some time. It’s a no budget short put together by a film team that goes by the name Godfish Collective out of Canada. I didn’t have any involvement in this project, they just happened to use some of my music for the score. I didn’t find out about it until well after it was done. According to them they layered the tracks ”The Fraternal Order of Hypocrites and Zealots”, “The Redundancy of Procreation” and “Where the Fearful Eat Their Young” on top of each other and them mixed them all in and out of one another for the soundtrack.

“I Thought I Was Right, I Wasn’t” a short film by Godfish Collective

The news that has transpired since that was put on the old site is this… Godfish Collective is working on a feature length film under the working title “Stop” and have asked me to contribute about half of the soundtrack. It’s still in the writing stage, and isn’t expected to begin shooting until sometime in 2010. The only details I know really are that its a horror film that is drawing some influence from the feel of films like Funny Games, Bully, Kids and Elephant. I know the basic premise of the story. However, last I knew it hadn’t been scripted yet so I’ll leave that in the bag in case it should evolve.

I’m excited at the prospect. I hope it works out. I will keep you posted as anything new comes up, but it may be awhile before I have anything additional to add.
