Adam Teale: News From Above

Barely 2 days after arriving in Sydney I found myself standing in awe of the cool sounds of Les Claypool live at the Enmore theatre. Big thanks to Liam for hooking me up with a ticket!

Mr Claypool and his band are on tour with their new album “Of Fungi And Foe”

Having wanted to see Primus for so long this was definitely the next best thing. He’s the man and I’d definitely agree in calling him the bext bass player in the world!
As well as all the tracks he played off “Of Fungi And Foe” tracks Les also dropped a couple of great Primus bombs and the crowd loved it.

Sometime back I was commissioned to write soundtrack music for two projects that promised to have quite a bit of very intense and unique imagery. One was for an interactive game about a meteor that hits Earth and brings intelligence to the mushrooms within the crash proximity and the other was about a three thousand pound wild boar that terrorizes the marijuana fields of Northern California. Obviously the makers of the subsequent Mushroom Men game and Pig Hunt film were very aware of my tastes and perspectives because the music oozed from me in such a natural way that I believe it came as much from my pores as it did my mind. This music became the foundation of the songs that fill this collection. With a few added tidbits and a bit of gypsy sauce, I inflict upon you… OF FUNGI AND FOE[3]

great concert the other night, Job 2 do – finally great to see him live!

He played until at least 4am!

More impressive, Stephanie got up and sang! Steph you are awesome!

Also amazing:

I recently did some grading on a music video for Tamarama on their track “Middle of a Magazine”. It was shot on few flavours of hd(v) – so ran the clip through shake to deinterlace it and did the grading in Color. Let me know what u think. Best of luck with the clip guys!

 

hilarious!

I don’t know if this will be some sort of ’social suicide’, but here is a thai tv commercial for Kasikorn Bank that i got paid to do! Can you pick the handsome/masculine voice that is yours truly?

Don’t laugh too hard.

I downloaded this clip of Bob playing Cab Calloway’s song “Minnie the Moocher” in Toulouse France. I’ve seen Bob live playing this a few times, but in this clip he’s beyond brilliant!

 

I have been trying to play Bob’s version of “Down the Road”, slowly making a bit of progress, but Bob’s rhythm is amazing. Check out this clip of Bob:

 

I remember reading about “Where the hell is Matt?” early this year, but didn’t pay too much attention to what this guy was doing. But I just watched his video, and it is the most inspiring thing I have seen all week!

Cheers to Sean for the link!

Tim just showed me some hilarious & clever clips by a Swedish guy called Lasse Gjertsen.

Check these out!

This clip is awesome, Bob is on fire
