“I Want to Report a Murder”
Posted in Music, Video
Director and friend of the site Russel Rocheleau recently released his music video for the song “I Want To Report A Murder” by Otto Kinzel. The Song is from Otto Kinzel‘s 2011 full-length album “We Are All Doomed: The Zodiac Killer”. Why am I posting you this update? Because I can proudly say, that the Zodiac font featured was created by yours truly, four years ago.
So if you like the video and/or the music, be sure to give a thumbs up or leave a nice comment!

Street Fighter 2 & Not So Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Reports, Seph Carissa / texx sound
So I did it again, but this time with a different game: After ripping the music-instrument samples from F-Zero and creating a soundfont out of it, I attempted just the same with Street Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo. If you’re looking for some technical insights in Capcom’s SNES music, wanna listen to some music or just the frickin’ download for the soundfont, you’ve come to the right place! -

BleepCast – Level 8
Posted in BleepCast, Games, People, Retro
Oh my god — it’s a bonus level! It’s a bonus to past BleepCast levels where I want to add a few of things or just pop in particular personal perspectives. And now there’s finally a way to do so! This bonus level deals with some awesome music for the SNES I totally forgot to play; and then there was this… misconception in BleepCast Level 1 that I need to fix — bleep-style! -

BleepCast – Level 5
Posted in BleepCast, Films, Games, Retro, Seph Carissa / texx sound
The BleepCast inspects covers, remixes and de-makes of our favorite tunes in the last 30 years in this level and asks how everything started, how it evolved and where it all went. This is a broad topic and so there’s no screwing around: This BleepCast hits you massively with 50 minutes of pure nerdsound, spoken and played alike. And the best of all: You’ll love it! I’m happy, Bob! -

Time for some music. I recently finished Mass Effect and was intrigued by the rather well drawn characters in the narrative as well as by the music which had such a familiar appeal to it, thanks to the 80′s synths in an orchestral setting. Again, I wanted to add my personal two cents to the dark voyage through the galaxy — plus some bonus material. And you can find both right here! -

♫ Papertrail
Posted in Seph Carissa / texx sound
Yep, once again another little electronic piece in minor key. I don’t know what struck me today, I guess an overall mood of gloom, melancholy, boredom and nose bleed were the ingredients to the situation that had led to this point. I guess it was one of those days where the simple act of waking up exhausted me so much that everything I did felt so mind numbing and tedious like following a paper trail.

♫ Vaccine
Posted in Seph Carissa / texx sound
It’s been only two days since my resolution to post something creative at least once a week and here I am now, already posting some new music. Looks like I am currently floating on a wave of dark electronic, but still I’m strumming with my guitars every day now for at least half an hour, so let’s see when there’s a new guitar piece out there as well… -

♫ Who Gave You This Number?
Posted in Seph Carissa / texx sound
Hi dear readers of my blog! Another time I have something for your ears. I never thought that I would make some music while I was working the past weeks (and months!) like crazy on a big visual effects / compositing project, but … I tend to surprise even myself. So you’re about to listen to the first audio track I made in this still very young year of 2010.
Read the rest… -

♫ CSI: Cool-Sounding Investigations
Posted in Seph Carissa / texx sound
I watched another couple of CSI: New York episodes to research the cinematography and color grading (both much more subtle compared to the overly-saturated CSI: Miami), but the more episodes I watched the more aware I became of Bill Brown‘s music. It didn’t sound terribly hard to compose still it captured the mood quite well and was terrifically mixed. “Can’t be too hard to do that myself” I pondered two hours ago and gave it a try by scoring an imaginary scene in Bill’s style.
I am quite happy with it, just had to give it an urban beat and more synthesizers instead of an orchestral percussion in the end. Hope you like it too.
EDIT: Didn’t like it how it suddenly ended so I composed a more proper and a little soothing ending. Refresh your cache and take a listen.

Status Update: Still Alive
Posted in Compositing, Dear Diary, Reports, Seph Carissa / texx sound
It’s been quite a while since my last blog entry. In fact it has been so long, that I had to think twice to recall my password for this sweet blog o’ mine.You ask “What’s new? What’s cool?” and I tell you: A lot: I’ve been in the trenches with Nuke and fought After Effects so there’s a lot of stuff I want to show and tell what I’ve learned in the past weeks, not only about VFX.
