recommendation

YouTube recommended this guitar instrumental compilation to me. I found it very interesting, and it has an aesthetic that reminds me of Hendrix and Frusciante. My favorite tracks were: Escaparate, Mar, Tatan, Remache and Es un adios?

If you're into alternative metal, I'd definitely recommend giving Black Fold a listen! 🤘 We explore different subgenres of rock and metal, and we're currently working on some exciting new tracks with nice melodies. There's a lot more music on the way, and we're putting a lot of effort into making each release something special. I think you'll enjoy what's coming! 🔥 Smile For The Camera is the last track we made.

Hello!
I am the director of the video and wanted to share some of the process of this video because I haven't seen this done before and it was a pretty fun process.

I assembled and animated some clips in a retro cartoon style that matched some of the themes and references of the song, I made them complete loops (either ping-ponging or feeding back to frame 1), i applied some color grading and filter to get the aesthetics to be more consistent across the clips, then exported every frame as an jpg and placed them in individual folders.

I then made a custom python script that would take the frames and assemble them in a circle image with each clip as a different ring, the inner rings would have frames omitted to account for the different size of the rings. This created a gigantic 16k png zoetrope image that was half a gb.

I then brought that into DaVinci Resolve, put it into a 3D plane, and put in a transform script to have it rotate so the image does a complete rotation for every bar of the music. Then I created a 3D camera within Resolve and had it zoom in and out, panning across it, and tilting/rotating. I then mapped out camera movements to match the tone of the song and focus on certain rings during key parts of the song. This was actually quite difficult because I had to use a much lower res image while working so my computer can handle it. Eventually I mapped out the movements roughly, I swapped to the high res image, then rendered (which took about 30 hours).

Once I had the final render I had to do some frame blending to get rid of some of the more intense flickering, applied some post-processing effects like colors and warping, added some overlays of the band, and built the intro and outro.

Just thought I'd share!

Hi everyone!

Mark Lanegan has been an influence on the way I do music since the first time I heard him sing (listening to Songs For The Deaf, around 15 years ago or so)

I really love this song, even though my favourite album from him is actually Blues Funeral. Recording this song has been like closing a circle for me. I hope I didn't fuck it up too much.

I like buying random CDs from second hand stores, stumbled across this about a year ago and have just got round to archiving it. Super cool alternative rock from Telford, England. Active from 1998 and released this in 2001, virtually no info on them online at all. FFO radiohead.

Hey everyone!

We’re Empty Palace, an alt-rock band based here in London.

We’ve been spending a lot of time tightening up our sound lately — blending heavy driving guitars with atmospheric, moodier soundscapes and high-energy moments.

We're playing our next live set on Friday, November 6th at The Troubadour (265 Old Brompton Rd, Earl's Court). It’s an iconic venue with so much history, and we’re really excited to take the stage there.

If you’re looking to discover new local bands or just want a cool live music spot to grab a drink on a Friday night, we’d genuinely love to see you there!
