Music and Graphics by Frank Coleman. I took the largest print I could find of Jackson Pollock's "Summertime 9a," broke it out by color spectrum in Photoshop, exported the pieces as separate PNGs with transparent backgrounds, imported those into a virtual reality environment (Tilt Brush), built a “room” out of the pieces in 360 space, then did a fly-thru, in one unbroken five minute take, using Tilt Brush's handheld virtual camera, which saves it out as standard 720p video. So it's "shot on location" inside VR. The music came from an undeveloped song idea I wrote for Satellite Paradiso a few years ago. Everything you hear is me, multi-tracked, all from one keyboard.

SECRET AGENT - Portofino Special Agent Duncan Kilburn - Sax Special Agent Jo Quail - Electronic Cello Special Agent Robert Holmes - Guitar All other instruments and video by Bureau Chief Frank Coleman Recorded at an undisclosed location. Mastered by John Ashton at Highwoods Audio, Woodstock, NY All footage shot handheld by Frank Coleman inside a VR environment, created with Tilt Brush and Oculus Medium. Transcript: What do you want from me, Colonel? The girl.... and right away! In my life of nightmares, Portofino really seems like a dream. Isn't it possible they may be sharper than we are? Now it's obvious they must have an informer... One of the three of us! I've got a job for you right away. In my life of nightmares, Portofino really seems like a dream. A dead traitor can be useful. She might be smarter than we think. That's just the kind of film I like - short and significant.

Through the windows of a foreign train Look around Look around Destinations with unfamiliar names At the speed of sound Nowhere bound In the distance I see lighted signs Advertising the life I want to leave behind Looking forward to the other side Where no one can sell you Night falling and I see Apollo rise Hand into heaven Turn away with a heavy sigh How can I Touch the sky? I lay back in my seat and dream No way of knowing Where this foreign train is taking me Taking me Taking me Touch the sky (c) 2014 Interstellar Sound.

The nice people at Dyckman Electronics have a new Tama kit in their window, and they let me come in and blow off some steam from time to time. Nothing beats real drums, but I love all the different flavors of electronica, and Drum n Bass beats are massive fun for the drummer. Big fan of Jojo Mayer. Bear in mind, the kit is set up backwards for me (I play left-handed).

Drummer Frank Coleman gives an examination of how to think about playing odd meters in a musical, aesthetically pleasing way. Topics include Take 5 (Brubeck), America is Waiting (Byrne/Eno), Tomorrow's World (Killing Joke), Tattooed Love Boys (Pretenders), Scatterbrain (Jeff Beck), 13/8, 5/4, 7/8, 9/8, 31/8, and nested rhythms.

Killing Joke - Snakedance (Youth 'Rattlesnake Dub' Remix) from the album "Pylon" Visuals by Frank Coleman Created in Virtual Reality with Microdose VR A spontaneous music video I created in virtual reality with Microdose VR, inspired by meeting Youth at last week's double-header Killing Joke shows in NYC. I'm painting in mid-air, and the graphics bounce to the music in real time. The software has been in development for three years and only released for initial testing in the last few weeks. Ultimately, they'll license it to VJs for public performance, so consider this my audition reel. 😉

Taylor Barefoot • Acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards and treatments, electric sitar, bass and percussion. Frank Coleman • Additional drums, percussion, loops, keyboards and treatments.

Elizabeth McGovern - The Truth (excerpt). The title track from her new album on Mi5/Universal. Video editing by Frank Coleman. Academy Award Nominee, Emmy and Golden Globe Nominee film actress Elizabeth McGovern (Downton Abbey, Ragtime, Ordinary People) is also an accomplished musician, singer and song writer. Mi5 Recordings (Universal Music Group) have signed Ms. McGovern to a distribution deal and this is the release of her new album "The Truth", produced by Grammy Award winning Guitarist/songwriter Kipper Eldridge (Sting, Gary Numan) and Ted Mason (former Modern English member, guitarist, multi genre producer - Pharrell Williams, Ne-Yo, Common, Mary J Blige, Jeff Beck, Cheb Khaled). Very Special thanks to the guest musicians on the Album include: Samuel L Jackson (The Suburbs), James Walsh (Cold Old World), Jake Morrel (The Truth), Barry Walsh (Accordian) and Smokey Hormel. // 7:30PM, Sunday night. My phone rings. “Hey, we need a music video for Elizabeth by 9AM tomorrow morning. She’s going on TV to promote the new Downton Abbey movie. The only problem is we don’t have any footage.” “That’s not your only problem. It’s 7:30, the night before.” “We know. All we have is four other videos she did previously. The production values are great, but they’re four completely different songs, each with completely different lyrics and tempos than this one. Can you help us?” “Sure. I can give you ONE HOUR. Put everything in a bag and send it to me. I’ll figure it out.” [Two hours later] “Here’s your video.” Elizabeth: “It’s absolutely incredible. I’m amazed.” 🙂 . . . . #DowntonAbbey #ElizabethMcGovern #Mi5 #FinalCut #MusicVideo #TheTruth #NinjaLife #VideoEditing
