portraits by boom blip blip
i know it's not technically telafonica, but it is sam and i, and all the portraits i'm doing for the half of the works that i instigate are based on telafonica members, so here's some shameless self-promotion...

film / album idea
i was talking with sam last night. her and jos are still keen to do the film for the album, even though we didn't get the grant money. however, time restraints may be an issue, as they wouldn't be able to afford the same amount of time to the project as they would had we had money for them to do so. sam suggested that they maybe get one done in time for a june/july release, then work on more over time. which led me to thinking....
i suggested to her that maybe we could aim for one film to go out a month before releasing the album, then one a month from there, until all 7 or 8 (depending on how many tracks end up on the album) are completed. we could use that to keep some sort of interest in the album around for a longer period of time than normal, as we could make a big promotional deal every month until they're all done. it also gives sam and jos more time to get things done.
and just this afternoon, i had another idea that could tie in with it. what if we got a whole bunch of people to remix different tracks off the album, like 30 different artists or something, then, each month, as the film for a track is released, we can put it out as part of a free download single that comes with the film and 3 or 4 remixes of the track. the original versions would remain solely the domain of the album release, so they wouldn't take away from that, but we'd also end up with a whole array of different takes on the tracks from the album, which we can use to keep radio interested and things like that. (of course, all this would also be perfect for the 20th anniversary box set to be released in 2031 complete with a remastered version of the original album, all the remixes, and the film, in a bespoke, handmade box.)
any thoughts?

being filmed
sam and i spent this evening filming a sunset projected onto our house. which means there is just one more stage of filming needed for the video clip for i can hear there's a peace in the dark. but that stage requires us all to be present together at night. we're also thinking that ellie's house would be a good place to do it, as we need to project what we've already filmed onto a white house. sam is going to be away for two weeks from the end of next week and we need the video in time for the single release on the everything is chemical blog (which has already been pushed back) so we kind of need to get it done next week.
is there an evening early next week that we might all be free to go around and do it?

cover film
sam lee is currently making a film for us for cover. she's got some progress things up on her new blog over here - some quick trial animations and some character studies. below is one of the images of the main character (the girl) with a paper crane that also features. it's pretty great and i can't wait to see the finished thing.
(and bec - take a close look at the crane's tail.)

art and practice
i've been speaking with our various painters/artists over the last few days.
mele-katalina is away and won't be able to do the 6th of december. however, i have asked her to maybe take some photos of us some time, so if anyone has any ideas for band photos...
johan will be painting for us again, which i'm very excited about.
samantha will also be there to do something, but she suggested that rather than use a canvas, she did something on one of us. after discussing ideas coming from that, she's settled on the idea of, over the course of our set, painting onto each of our faces. that will mean that while each of us doesn't have their face pressed up against a micrphone, she'll flit between us and art us. after a suggestion from bec that it would be good to make sure it was going to work, sam is going to come to one of our rehearsals and practise it as we practise.
which also means we need to find some rehearsal time. between lessons in time, eliza magill and telafonica, rehearsal time is sitting at a premium. keep friday the 5th free - we'll have dinner and demolish a gingerbread house then rehearse - but sam can't do friday nights, so we'd need another time as well. we're free sunday, monday night, and wednesday night. another option may be that, seeing as it's uni break time, we could do an afternoon rehearsal, say from 4ish, which might free up some more time for others.
