I made various video backgrounds from animations that I worked on in Processing in preparation for a gig I played at the start of January. In the event, the venue’s projector wasn’t available, so they weren’t used. But the preparation work isn’t wasted, I have some videos in hand for future live performances. Plus, I took some of the footage generated for Silver Bird and edited it into this video.
In fact, the timing could not have been more perfect. No sooner had I finished the video than I got an email from BBC Introducing (Lincolnshire) to say they had used Silver Bird in their show the previous Saturday. This was an exciting end to what has been a brilliant month for me, where I’ve made a lot of new contacts and felt like I’d scratched the surface of whatever this music thing is.
Congrats on the BBC usage! Don’t they have to contact you to ask if they can use it, though? Seems like they oughta…
And excellent work on that video. I love Silver Bird. Well done!
Hi, thank you! BBC usage was pre-approved as the way it works for indie artists is that you upload to your artist profile on their Introducing site (UK artists only).
