Its finally getting to the point where it will be ready for viewing soon -- finishing up the final edits, and getting ready to do the audio dub. That's definitely going to be my favorite part!
Can't show too much, as most of the project is still under production - but let me say its looking pretty spectacular --
Lots of friends always ask me how I cut up and create the sounds I use on in songs. Actually, there's a long history of sampling thru Hip Hop and other music genres.
I've used a lot of programs to do my sampling, using my own original sources, or copyright-cleared sounds. I always carry a mic around with me wherever I go.
This is an amazing Youtube video documentary about the history of the "Amen" break, with an introduction to the use of old recordings to create new music.
What do you think of musicians sampling old recordings to make new songs?

Back in Taipei! This city rocks!
Just added some photos from the show last night.
the Back to the Future crew goes nuts over a Dirt Star t-shirt! Played an awesome show with two of Taipei's scorching bands -
the White Eyes and Sonic Deadhorse. Floaty played on guitar with me. We had a really tight set, with full-on visuals and electro beats.
The Underworld was packed!
I really loved the other bands -- Sonic Deadhorse rocks sweet sounds. The White Eyes are completely over the top, the hottest band I've seen in a while, and the Underworld the perfect venue for their sonic madness.

It was a pretty
hot Wednesday night, and the place was jam packed! Thanks to everyone
that came out to support us!
Floaty took that photo of Chousheng -- the MAN at the Underworld. Triple 6 rocks!
And sweet rare footage of the show on Youtube!!
Floaty took that one too :)
Floaty and Dirt winding down after a hard night's work (check out our homemade t-shirt designs)
Dirt Star's sound has been described as a mix of Electro-fied Beetlemania in silver martian space suits, a mix of infectious pop music mixed up in with a taste of street culture.
