7 March 2011

Doug and I went to Cabaret Voltaire in Edinburgh to see The Static and Devils Brigade.  Both bands as well as Maxwells Dead who were also on the bill were awesome.  Here's me with Devils Brigade/Rancid bass player Matt Freeman.

Roadie Tetris

If this was roadie tetris I'd have cleared 4 lines with this awesome display of fitting gear into a car. There are 2 guitar hard cases, a Granger 412 cab, a crate head, an acoustic and a bag of cameras and pot noodles all in the back of my wee Kia Picanto.

I am Ted Theodore Logan!

Went to see Hipflask and The Liberty Bells in PJ's tonight. Awesome gig apart from some bald, cro-magnun fuckwit who couldn't grasp the concept of a mosh-pit squaring up to Doug and being a bigger buzzkill than Buzz McKillington.

Anyway these guys were on first and the dude with the Steve Vai guitar could fucking shred. Still much like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani their music was all technical and no substance.

Distractions

After spending 4 hours staring at a fairly simple task and being unable to get my brain into gear I headed up to Dundee to spend time with Sarah. Got more work done up in Dundee too if I'm honest.

Horror...but with Glee

Spotted this fucking travisty in Tesco. What's next? This is Spinal Glee? Tenacious Glee? The Glee of Music? These cunts aren't going to stop until real music enthusiasts shoot themselves due to everything they love being covered in sugary shit.

Still I personally thing Rocky Horror still sucks anyway Ijust fucking hate Glee.

Biker Ned from Methil.

Designed this wee guy to model for 3D modelling. He's inspired by Shogo Akuji (Saints Row 2) and Kaneda (Akira) and in a way Squall from Final Fantasy 8. He's supposed to be a scottish 'gaijin' in a japanese bokozoku biker gang, so he looks kinda glaiket.

This is The Story of Denim Demon: Behind the Metalocalypse

I have a unit this semmester called Digital Story Telling where we have to tell a story digitally that subliminally advertises a ficticious denim company. This can be through video, animation, audio, websites video games or even things like Alternate Reality Games (things like sending people on GPS scavenger hunts and bluetoothing story clues to people on the bus)

We don't actually have to develop this media though we just propose the idea (if I go onto Honors Degree level I will have to build it though.)

My idea revolves around the story of a band called "Denim Demon" who come from a future where music is no longer a commodity so they plan to travel back in time to the 80's to play a mix of Heavy Metal/Glam/Stadium Rock and become massive.

Only they end up in 2000 and miss the boat. The story revolves around them trying to make it big.

I even did this AWESOME "Band Relationship Chart":

Getting AHEAD with my 3D model

Well yeah ok I forgot to bring my pen-drive into college and ended up borrowing the tutors model but he was only a little bit further on than me (and had done a better job so far.) Anyway today I modelled the chin, forehead, jaw and side of the face.

Thunderhorse the SeaUnicorn

So I'm delving into Power Metal spliced with Punk Rock with The Defenestrators and today I wrote riffs for a song called "Thunderhorse the Sea-Unicorn. Found this image of what a Sea-Unicorn might look like by way of google image search. The idea I had in my head though was more of a Sea Horse with a horn whereas the one pictured above has legs and hooves.

Bannermans

The Defenestrators played their first Edinburgh gig tonight here at Bannermans. Dead Agenda were a no show so the sound engineer got up and gave us some Sinatra and other Jazz classics. We had a fantastic gig, given that the majority of the crowd had came from Dunfermline. Nearly every song the crowd gave us awesome energy, whether is was singing waaa-ooooh's in Ode to a T-shirt, motorboating each other during Motörbate or just going tits to This Town (since it's about Dunfermline we dedicated it to them). A New Hope were quite good too.

Show Face

So I have Intermediate 3D Modelling this semmester. Here I am building a 3D model of a face. It looks kind of crap so far. I use 2 planes, a front profile and a side profile and build the face using 2 viewports lining the polygons up to the planes. I think this face has Uma Therman's lips.

Lady Killers

Went to see Hipflask at PJ's. The were awesome apart from when they played Lady Killer and a cat fight broke out involving certain members of the band's girlfriends and they became distracted. They managed to fight past it though and play a rocking set!

The Liberty Bells Gay Test.

Take a glance at this photo. Now. If your eyes focused on the chicks on the right well done you are a hetro, your father will be so proud. If your eyes focused on the random getting gay with the guitarist on the left then you are a homo, your father will be not so proud.
