Pulsewave

I celebrated my first Halloween (and designed my first costume) while performing some chiptune covers at Pulsewave in Brooklyn on the 27th. :D Even won some damn delicious cupcakes for best costume-do of the evening (though I thought @jenndlv's B-MO costume should of won). Had plenty of fun dancing to the other sets but the spray adhesive in my Katamari headpiece didn't properly disperse and I became high as a mo'fo until I got home.

Ugh, why am I doing this?

Videos

The other day I went and did a plethora of impromptu video recordings at the piano store where I teach. For about 6 hours I managed to sit in front of 40 pianos with my crappy Nikon D5000, press record and played a bunch of random notes. And as much as I’d love to upload all 40-something videos to YouTube I think about 10 or 12 will suffice.

This is basically the product of what happens when you have a poor social life. You sit down all day and hit a bunch of random notes and call it music.

Sigh.

Childhood Scores

Since I began teaching last year I've been resurrecting these sorts of books I bought when I was a kid; practicing scores and pieces I could of only dreamed about playing (while attempting to master Killer Instinct on the N64).

You can tell these books are old...just look at how the cover page for the book of Beethoven's sonatas is ripped from its source!

Now I can't stop practicing these damn things and they're getting in the way of my Japanese studies!

3D Final

It's like the rendering is taking longer than the time it took to model, texture and animate everything.

Facebook

Now all I have to do is make it look official

Senior Project

Currently jamming what should of been three month's worth of work into 7 hours.

MMM, MMM, MUJI, MUJI

On the last day of 2011 I received the greatest thing in the mail, ever. From the deepest depths of concrete Tokyo, my good friend (and awesome vocalist) Chihiro sent me a package.

But this wasn't just any package because it contained the greatest things ever manufactured by mankind today, including illustrations!
