DC GROUP: DIALOG EDIT FOR TUTORIAL VIDEO

Did a bit of dialog edit for a product tutorial by DC Group recently.

Thanks to Snap Communications for the opportunity!

ORIGINAL MUSIC PLACEMENTS: RTL TELEVISION, GERMANY

My original musical composition “Pop Rock”, from the production music album “Simple & Playful: Quirky Electro-Pop” that I wrote for the Primary library, has recently scored six rapid-fire placements on RTL Television, the largest private TV network in Germany. One of the shows featuring the track is called “Punkt 12: Das RTL-Mittagsjournal”— which, defying more wacky expectations, translates to “Item 12: The RTL Lunch Journal”. All of which works just fine for me. After all, lunch needs a journal just like anything else, does it not?

CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN ALL ABOUT THAT BASS

A huge thank you to the generous Michael Sundlin for loaning me his lovely bass!

This was an opportunity to chart the boundless abyss that is my comprehensive lack of prowess as a bass player, failing utterly to play anything resembling the bass line I’d imagined for one of the tracks I’m working on. I was going for “Pixies meets the Flaming Lips”; what I achieved instead was “this guy only knows how to play guitar, so he tries to get by playing chords on the bass, which generally misses the point of the instrument”. Totally didn’t work.

But I did mess around with another (much slower) song, plunking along mostly on the root of each chord, and that actually worked pretty well. I’ll just get somebody else to play bass on that other track. Because as it turns out, I am not even remotely about that bass.
