New Media by Ryan Adlaf
I had the great pleasure of mixing 6 songs on the new City of Progress record, Human Machine. To be fair, Max had already put the mix together in DP4, all that was needed was some EQ, a little automation, and some Vintage Warmth.
Once you go Vintage you never go back.
Years ago, while I was working nights in Chicago, I started making short films with a fellow night worker. He was a sleep tech, I delivered steaks and cigarettes to the yuppies in the Gold Coast. We found ourselves up and around on a nightly basis until 6am with nothing to do until the idea appeared before us – short films.
We found inspiration and direction by using cartoons/graphic novels as storyboards, and forced ourselves to shoot and edit each piece in one night. Fueled by the crushing boredom of the 2am-6am hours, bottles of wine, and a deep longing for female companionship, I bring you the two ‘best’ of these experiments.
