Home and away
Much like Psi Corps, I’m everywhere, for your convenience.
I spent some time over the weekend working up some new music for PDF Level 2, and even found that at some point in the past, I had helpfully left some stuff just this side of unfinished that’s virtually perfect for the next PDF DVD. I also cooked up one new number that I like a lot – for some reason, as sedate as my music writing is when I’m thinking of stuff with lyrics, my instrumentals over the past 10 or so years have tended toward get-up-and-wiggle-all-available-body-parts stuff. I also discovered, along with the various useful unfinished music, the long-lost full 8-minute version of the PDF theme – you better bet you’ll be hearing that excerpted a lot on the next DVD. Hell, even I had forgotten how long it originally was – I wish I had remembered that while scrambling to find enough original music to cover the audio gaps on the first DVD! I may post some previews in the days ahead (like anyone’s that attached to my “white guy doing ’70s funk” routine!). Having had a little burst of musical creativity here, though, I’m probably going to wait until much later in the game to do more – “compose to picture,” as they say.
Speaking of the PDF DVD, you can get it this coming weekend at Sniderman’s table at CCAG in Cleveland; at roughly the same time, relatively speaking, the newly-released Odyssey2/Videopac cartridge Martian Threat will be debuting with cover artwork by yours truly at Eurocon 2008 in Karlsruhe, Germany. That’s not a bad reach, geographically speaking, for a guy who stays home with the baby in Arkansas all the time. The weekend after that, you can find the PDF DVD at Too Many Games in Reading, PA. I’m hoping that I’ll have a trailer ready for the CGE stuff by then too, but if that happens, it’s going to be an insanely tight squeeze.
A while back I promised a follow up to Doctor Who In 35 Minutes; I’m coming down the home stretch on that, mainly because I’m going to need it finished and off the Avid so I can continue working on the CGE auction (!!). As soon as I’m done with the CGE DVD content, it looks like I’ll be doing the packaging artwork too. I think we’re still firmly on target for Christmas though. I’ll make sure it doesn’t look too much like another PDF DVD. 😆
Stay tuned.… Read more
