This is an episode about a track from “the old Fresh Meat” project.. Early efforts at integrating electronic music, my guitar playing, and vocals / lyrics. I can’t sing.. and the idea is that this would work for that..

“I talk about then then present an old piece of music of mine (done in like Cubase VST 5, that’s how old!)… The music is very punk-ish, dada-ish, mothers of invention-ish… with tinges of a Jungian like view of psychology.. very strange stuff… to fill you with a wonderful subversive joy”

Again we are dealing with an “enhanced podcast” which requires iTunes or an iPod to listen to.

I wrote the following about this when I origionally posted it:

“Matt Searles talks about his music and shows his music.. all the while improvised guitars play in the back ground.. the talk gets into things like “prophetic organizational principles,” as being the core building blocks of his compositional / production process.”

It has its virtues, tells my story.. but it drones on a “little bit.”

It should be added that this is an “enhanced Podcast” which means you need iTunes or an iPod to listen to it.

I guess I was trying to trouble shoot troubles I was having with my podhost ourmedia. Here’s what I wrote about it then

“This is me trying to test if I post an mp3, if it’ll all work well.. recently I tried to post an enhanced podcast and things didn’t work out so well.. so now I’m trying to see if doing the mp3 thing works fine.. and if so.. then I’ll just post my work this way..”

This would be my very first try at creating an audio podcast.. I Introduce myself, my art, my philosophy, my game plan… and in this talk talk about Freud, Jung, Nietzsche, Kant.. and I deput some music… from my Indra’s Net Project (music I’m giving away, you can down load some for free at http://virb.com/mattsearles/music/albums/19812) And if you’re a podcaster I should have this, and more work, up in the podsafe music directory shortly.. some of it.. search it for ZarMattAThustra, and you should find it..

This is an enhanced podcast which means to listen to it you need an iPod, or iTunes / Quicktime.

This was my first shot at making a video podcast.. I think it must have taken my about a month to complete.. which meant this type of production is probably not very realistic for creating video podcasts that you expect to put out weekly *sigh*

Some of the aesthetic thinking in this is a sort of appropriation of ideas of the French New Wave.. in particular some of the ideas of André Bazin. There’s this idea of “spatial temporal integrity of the event.” Basically this has to do with the artifice of media conventions.. and I’m bringing this into the land of the sound engineer… But I won’t go so into all that here.

Anyway this is an iPod formated video.. so you’ll need iTunes / Quicktime or a Video iPod to see this on.. and I recomend you listen to it with head phones on…
