man minus one

Last week about this time I posted a set on Flickr called Worst Possible 33 1/3 book covers, which was a simple idea I had earlier in the week. It started with the basic idea of how the 33 1/3 people could get Charles Manson to write a book on the White Album, and then the idea of a series of bad book covers just came to mind.

Looking through my original list it seems that I was able to successfully create every book cover that I came up with during my brainstorming session. And all of them were posted onto the Flickr set, except for one.

faces all around me

Got an email from my friend KellyAnne (visit her kool-ass site, Koolass.com! It’s totally kool-ass!) who was asking me about a video that I did a loong time ago. So I thought I would share it with the people who might be checking this site out.

So around 2001 I was in between jobs (this was around the time of the dot-com crash), and I had some time to kill. I put together a couple of interesting projects, one of which I mentioned previously: Dictionaraoke. Another project was just a bunch of Flash videos for some random strange songs. One song, “Faces,” was lifted from an old Sunday school flexi-disc and just screamed to have a video made for it.

Continuing on with the massive media dump, here’s some audio of mine that you can find online.

The biggest online project that I’ve been involved in so far has to be Dictionaraoke, an online gallery of songs made up of MIDI audio and speech samples from online dictionaries. It was inspired by an NPR Weekend Edition Saturday story about Merriam Webster including word samples in its online reference site. One of the songs that I created has the distinction of having been played on both Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me and the Dr. Demento Show, which means that I’m famous in cafes and college dorms nationwide.

Let’s start right away with a bunch of videos that are available on YouTube. Follow the jump to see some videos that I’ve made, mostly for audio created by other people. (more…)

This is Man Minus One, the place where I’ll be posting my audio workings, video craftings and other artistic blah that I made up. I’ve got quite a bit of content to post to the site, so please bear with me over the next few weeks as I get things posted to this site for your consumption.

And don’t forget, everything on this site is 100% made by hand! Sure, the hands were used to move pixels, sound samples and other appropriated imagery around, but still. All done by hand!
