Welcome to The Center

Hello All,

This is my first post on the new blog. A lot has actually been going on so I haven't had a lot of time to keep y'all informed. Chevy and I have been doing a lot of writing for the album, putting together a live show, working tech for various events, and writing for a few films/commercials.

One of the films that we just finished scoring is called "Return To Schralptown." It was put together by our good friend Jesse Levine over at Thrillhead Creations. They are a production/media company that stresses the importance of keeping our environment healthy through sustainable living. Pretty cool stuff actually, we wrote three songs for them for that film so look for that one on their website.

On that same environmental tip, we are writing some music for an environmental organization called GenGreen. They stress the benefits of sustainable living as well, and are trying to create a network of environmentally minded people. It's pretty cool actually, if you follow this link to their website you can sign up for an account. It is sort of like a myspace type community, but for people of the green persuasion.

Another project that we have just finished up is writing the new intro music for Brotherhood 2.0. The founders Hank and John Green have decided to communicate only through video blog for an entire year, and they don't mind if you watch them do it. It is actually really cool, every weekday they alternate making very interesting, funny, and intelligent videos on a battery of subjects. You can watch the videos on youtube or you can visit www.brotherhood2.com. Once the year is up, they are going to continue to make videos, just not quite everyday under the name vlogbrothers. We offered to write the music for their new intro purely because we love their videos so much. They are awesome guys. Hank is an environmental activist that runs www.ecogeek.org, a website about incorporating cool technology that is also environmentally friendly. John is an award winning author of young adult fiction, you can read more about him on his website. John's books are really good, at least the one that I have read, but he definitely has a very unique and intelligent outlook on life. Anyway check them out...NERDFIGHTERS!

Other than that we had been getting ready to do a show on the 29th of November, a clinic actually, to show off Ableton Live. However because Live 7 is being released around that time, we have decided to perform in January and I will keep you updated as to when that is goin down.

This weekend we will be at remix hotel, this huge electronic music convention going on in Hollywood. Should be a good time, and I think we are doing a demo at the Ableton booth, so be sure to come down and check us out. That's all for me...more to come soon. Hope to see y'all this weekend.

ps. Oh really quick we may be working with OneFive Media in the very near future. They are a company that specializes in making films about mountainboarding. A sport only for the most burly of men...and women, and...children.
