A RECENT BOOKING... 24/11/2007
NORWICH SAMBA BAND 14/07/2007
KRAESY KITCHEN By 3DM
This video was shot in just one weekend (yes, all that animation) back in 2001, but has only just been digitally remastered and re-edited by me (colour correction to follow soon), as at the time it was shot and edited on borrowed gear!
The idea behind it was to take domestic objects and bring them to life by 'choreographing' them to one of my own tunes (called Brain Bug, after a random newspaper headline I saw at the time of writing it)!
Yes, I really did burn a hole in my kitchen floor during the making of this video, but no I didn't care, because I moved out a couple of weeks after making this, and all that Lino got ripped up by builders anyway!
I tell you, I'm perfectly stone cold sober, honest...
THE DANCE By 3DM
This video features footage of dancers from the Dithyrambic Jigg project, for which I have been known to supply some percussive sounds!
THE JOURNEY By 3DM
This is the time compressed and edited sum of two bus journeys between Cambridge and Bedford I did about a year ago, with a suitably manic soundtrack!
The building that features at the start and end of this video (Bradwells Court), doesn't exist any more, as it was demolished recently, to make way for another concrete and glass retail box!
And they call this progress...
Who Am I . . ?
Primarily producer of electronic music, but also poet/lyricist, painter, photographer, sometime graphic artist/cartoonist and percussionist.Yeah, alright, I'm a bit of a polymath, but don't worry, I'm not cocky about it!
:-)
The name 3DM is both my moniker and a statement of intent, as I'm not interested in following formulas, but striking out and trying new things - after all, in the realm of electronic music any sound can be your instrument, so why limit yourself?
Definitely feeling the flows of Dubstep, Grime and Broken Beat right now, as well as what came before them. Believe that lyrical content shouldn't just be about trivia, but actually be meaningful, so I'm unlikely to be writing pop songs anytime soon!
Ultimately I want to do multimedia projects, using video, audio and performance as well as experiments with emerging digital media too, although the technology is never the end in itself for me, just the medium to work with to convey ideas.
I'm also a Sambista for some years running now, and have gigged and travelled (Recently Irish Republic, France, Spain) all over the place as a result. However, I'm not all serious, as there's nothing quite like the rush of standing in front of a big bassbin, or being at a carnival and following a sound system truck, or playing in a hundred strong Samba Band!
I'm also known around town for playing Egyptian beats with the Salon Darabuka collective.
