New MJ Ultra Music

I am pleased to announce a shiny new track on the MJ Ultra MySpace page.

The track is called 'Solo Dreams' and it's been a staple of our live shows for the last couple of years. It was actually the first song that I wrote with the band, so I'm pleased to finally get it recorded. We recorded live in the Deuce studio and I think it sounds top notch.

DieByForty live!

Last night I went to see my Franco friends play live in Shibuya. They rocked! Below is a picture I took of them, I added some orange colorization to it later. The principal color for the video we are shooting will be orange.

DieByForty - Orange-drenched French chic, fuelled by rage and angst

The end of the year promises to be a cracker! Apart from another MJ Ultra gig sometime very soon, I will also be putting another music video together. The bad experience I had making the video for Molice hasn't stopped me from going at it it again. This time I am much better prepared and a little wiser.

I have agreed to shoot a music video for DieByForty, a mostly French band based in Tokyo (see picture below). The song is called Le 4eme Conil. It's sang in French, and I am informed that the lyrics are dark and brooding. Right up my alley then!

We will shoot the video in two sections and then cut them together. The first will feature the band performing the song in their studio in Torigatsudaigaku, and the second will be a young lady removing her make-up as she goes crazy in front of a mirror. The theme will be orange-drenched French chic, fuelled by rage and angst.

The crew will be me and a good friend of mine Jared Campion, who's done a few music videos of his own already. We will be filming in mid November.
