Stormcellar Band Home Page

We did some family stuff this week, a lot of which stays off the page, as is appropriate. It also seemed right to take a step back and observe some reflection time.

Which is ironic considering the amount of reflectivity we're engaging in during this whole 'lookit we been active 10 years' thing we've...I've...been going through.

Something gentle and wonderful comes out of our collective work. It's part of our extended social family and it connects us to other people in some very touching ways.

Thank you for expressing your support for Rosie. It was a good week in that respect.

Meanwhile...

Work continues, as it should. Yay. I'm listening to new songs from Mr Wizard and Bill, once again relying on echolalia to figure out what they're about. I've been trying to finish a clip for Heavy Weather for a little while and so far, meh.

I've got a bag of appealing visuals, but after a period of Animation, my thoughts are heading back towards....Live Action 

Live Action requires more than just me to be there :-) That presents 'challenges'.

That's some fine reduction of complexity with a little euphemism there, but still.

We've got a trip down to Canberra next weekend and that could prove an opportunity to get some rural landscapey stuff.

Meanwhile it's quiet and peaceful over here, everyone's taking a moment. Sydney rainstorms roll in and pass by.

For Rosie, with love from us.

Solidarity with Rosie, whose father passed away this morning. 

We're super bummed to cancel the catho. Sorry to all the folks who were making the effort to get out there.

We're pretty much joined at the hip as a unit, this one's gonna hurt and we have to take a moment.

Slow on the posting again because we've been doing stuff!

I'm making a new vid for 'Heavy Weather' but to get the effect I'm after requires New Skillz and OMG more animation. 

Animation effects take a while to do. It's painstaking.

And still easier than rounding this lot up for a live action videoclip (LOL).

Shout out to the Bureau of Meterology for supplying us with some Weather Doppler and to the RadarScope users group for radar loops. The fact that real world data produces some beautiful pics is outstanding.

But that's not all we're up to.

With 'Defiance' still in mixing we've started on two new projects. I'll fill you in as we go.

Stay tuned, more 'stuff' due shortly.

Aus has seen heatwaves, fires, floods, sharks, mini tornadoes, hail and now snow over the last 3 months.

The weather has been pretty bonkers and there's a lot of OMGOMG about current circumstance in what I read online.

It's awesome to reach back to a bit of Aussie folklore from almost 100 years ago.

The metaphor from this poem says more about our present than we might care to admit.

Relax ya batty peoples, seasons change.
