Aural and Visual

To follow up my welcome post, and as I get this page developed and add interesting things to it, I'll throw in another music link and to practice embedding video, I'm posting a link to the trailer for my most recently released film "Wrench".

Easily one of my top 3 Radiohead albums, and any given day could be my favorite, depending on my mood. I find other fans tend to rank this one pretty low on the totem pole, and I think, had it been arranged differently, it would be better. Individually however, I feel that this exhibits some of Radiohead's most unique and gripping individual tracks. Songs like "Go to Sleep", "2+2=5", and "Sit down, stand up" are rock driven, blended with the electronic influences of earlier albums like Kid A and Amnesiac. However, where the album really shines, is on its deeper cuts, like "Sail to the Moon", and "Where I end and you begin", we blend an enchantingly woven and powerful sound with the intensity and amazing delivery of Yorke's vocals. He sucks you into his realm, and then drives the music into your soul.

A little more about Hail to the Thief, from wikipedia:

Hail to the Thief is the sixth studio album by English alternative rock band Radiohead, released on 9 June 2003. It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom and at number three in the United States, where it sold a greater number of copies in its first week than any of Radiohead's albums to date.

After two Radiohead albums that featured heavily processed vocals, less guitar, and strong influence from experimental electronica and jazz, Hail to the Thief was seen as a slight return to the band's older alternative rock influences, drawing its sound from every era of the band's existence.

Wrench: A short film by Barret B. Burlage and James Edward Tilden

Wrench ~ trailer from Barret B Burlage on Vimeo.

Wrench was shot in April 2009 over 3 days (36 hours approximately). I co-wrote it along with my business partner and good friend Barret B. Burlage, who acted as the cinematographer and Producer, while I directed. It has been accepted to a handful of Film festivals, and Is currently the reason for a huge war in Charleston between local filmmakers, and a tyrannical Theater owner, who is holding our film and others hostage to prevent them from being screened in a more renowned and much better festival.

There will be much more info on that to come I'm sure.
