Rootbrian's video blogs, music and other random shit

Who wants to pay for health care, especially if you cannot afford it?

I decided to drop by the people's circle for palestine, only to come across a small pro-israel gathering (one which was rather peaceful, thank goodness) of students, and I recorded it on video as I would with any other rally, demonstration or protest. War is bad, it harms people and never leads to a peaceful outcome. The ones I talked with (off-camera), agreed with me on that one.

Apologies for the horrible audio I just couldn't fix! The bass was literally vibrating the camera inside the case and was so high I could feel it (it was raining that day too, so couldn't use the other camera). Whoever set the mixer on the rented speakers, should have ensured the high/mid/low was BALANCED rather than cranking one of them up (the low). I missed one of the speeches due to the camera rebooting on it's own several times (I didn't even notice), mainly due to a bad cable (pulling far too much current). It's since been replaced.

A corrupt lost clip (footage) resulted in the abrupt powering off of the sony camera due to a dead battery. Next time I will monitor the runtime before assuming anything. Music composed is my own, on top of a very slowed down vocal hum recording (completely out of tune, however, provided a strange bass line to follow).

This was recorded in the toronto islands.

Using quality stereo headphones is strongly recommended for the best listening experience. This soundtrack (a short one at that) was composed at a friend's place during their birthday party. I had to improvise without the use of a line port.

Longest composition I have ever done, and took far longer to encode. Quality stereo headphones recommended.

This was ripped from a speaker due to the lack of a line input on this device.

Consider this just a visual for a short musical composition consisting of vocal recordings and a synth bass - edited for time.

Something you cannot eat or get high off of, without ending up dead (a trip to the grave) or rushed to the hospital from poisoning (fuck no!!).

Speeded up intentionally.

I should have rendered a second version to avoid reversed audio (had to, this is also on youtube, damn those content ID risks).

The music composed for the marches is my own.

Some clips the audio was far too loud (Bass was so high, it was distorting on the speakers themselves), however I left them in to figure out what was being said (had a hard enough time figuring it out). The vocal tunes for the timelapses (four) were recorded twice their length and then speeded up. Tunes of my own that is and nobody elses.

I ended up in the wrong location (50 meters ahead) and had to make due with what limited room I had to get the best shot of the bike installation, including the flowers. Music composed for the ride is my own.

The music composed is my own, including bungee cord bass (resulting in fatigued arms and legs to keep the bucket from flipping at my head) as the primary track.

Slowed down on purpose, along with the audio.

Did not have time to compose music for this one unfortunately.
