The Wicked Game video celebrates 4 years of hard work building a Factory Five 33 Hot Rod V2 by Street Rod Jim. This documentary explores how Street Rod Jim was created and how Jim made the music video Wicked Game by Chris Isaak which involves the FFR 33 Hot Rod as a character.
About 2 years ago I came up with the idea to do a Music Video to celebrate the finishing of the car I was building from a kit. It took months to make a proof of concept and then start the song for real. The song ended up having 90+ tracks. Once I had the song mostly complete, I started on filming the music video and bought a new camera to pull it off. Not only was it new, but a whole new platform for the film industry. We recorded 6 TB of video data to accomplish my first debut music video. You will recognize the song, but not this arrangement. We went from rockabilly to atmospheric hard rock and produced everything in-house. I am proud of this one and I hope you like it too.
Even though I have always been happy with the performance of my vocal booth, I have never been a big fan of the looks of foam treatment. When Pure Wave Audio became a dealer of Vicoustic, it was an opportunity to get a nice modern look in the vocal room. After a full CAD mock up and full detailed analysis, we determined the best look and products for the room to maximize the acoustic character for my application. The final result was stunning and my clients are very happy to be in a beautiful environment.
2017 has been a great year. There has been so much going on with projects and new products for Pure Wave Audio. As you can imagine running a few business can be very difficult and time is valuable. I have found that having personal projects really help contain overworking. At the end of project, you have something to show for it. I have been working on building a car for the last year. I did a build school and now have been pre-planning my custom build. This picture is the first of hopefully a few cars I build. It is a 33 hot rod which will be powered by a Corvette LS engine drive train. Besides the color, this drawing is pretty accurate. Of course anything can change at anytime….because I am building it!
Portland by Todd Whilser, is a project I produced to favor the more organic sound of acoustic guitar, piano, cello, violin, saxophone, trumpet and the rarely used bass clarinet. Augmented by lush backing vocal arrangements with occasional symphonic flourishes, Portland leads the listener down a myriad of roads that collectively embrace the widest possible range of textures and emotions.
One of my project Muscle & Blood was mentioned in this issue of Mix Magazine.
