if you like the emo pop punk side of things, but not in a guy-punching-a-hole-in-drywall-for-no-reason sort of way, i strongly urge you to check this one out! been keeping up w these guys for a few years now and they have truly found the balance between “this riff fucks” and “this melody is so fun”. plus, they’ve really grown as songwriters in comparison to their earlier work. emo fall is upon us, friends, but this time we’re slipping into angst laced with fun.

Composing a short film about childhood at the moment and I’ve been leaning heavily on this Casio PT-1 keyboard I picked up at a flea market in Barcelona. They were manufactured starting in 1985 as a simpler alternative to Casio’s LV-1, hailed to be the first commercially available synth. Anyway love this sound it’s so tactile without feeling too boxy, I’ve really enjoyed playing it through my Tascam 414 as a preamp.

I thought I’d delve a little into the behind the scenes of a personal film I’m working on. I’ve been a type one diabetic for about fifteen years and have become recently obsessed with creating a film about the American medical system. I aim to capture the feeling that the medication that provides you with the ability to exist may one day be taken away, or not covered, or not delivered in time. I deal with the insulin saga every month, and while it may be an extreme example, I think many Americans live in similar situations.
That‘s the context. What I really want to delve into is the process of creating 16mm imagery, from shooting to developing, to editing. This is what our rig looked like when I decided to shoot a few months worth of the disposable needles I use to inject. I wanted to create an in camera “split screen” effect. To do that, I covered three quarters of the image plain and shot through my film. Then, I’d rewind and adjust my matte to expose one of the remaining quarters, doing so until I had a complete image. I’ll go a little more into the film stock when I talk about hand development :)
