Hey, I guess Hal is accepting articles again. Good. I was trying to think of what would make for one that is relevant here and thought maybe I could see if anybody wants to collaborate on something with me. It has been awhile. The Island of Misfit Noise is a group that my girlfriend and I started in 1998, ending in 2013. Other musicians came and went over a period of 15 years. We never had a stable lineup lasting longer than a few months. I resurrected it in 2014 as a recording project, swapping sounds online with people all over the place until we had a couple of completed tracks for release. Later, I wrote a rough draft for a no-budget movie of the same name. So, I combined both together into a multi-media project. The movie is still a work-in-progress. I'm just putting it together as I go along, with assistance from some filmmaker friends. If anybody wants to be involved, I would be happy to share ideas with you and do this together. Let me know via email or snail mail. ![]()
You can edit my demo anyway you want, to get started, adding anything you like. I might layer more onto it, remix it, mangle it. If you send me a recording I will do the same. We can go back-and-forth with it for awhile until it is completed. Any artwork or text contributed is appreciated as well. Preferably, I would like to be done with this by the end of June. If there is enough time left, I may use some it in the movie, some music videos, or both. Depending on how far we make progress, I might release what we've got by this Fall (maybe sooner). I have been invited to submit something to a film festival in October, which takes place in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Detroit. CDs, Cassettes, and DVDs are handmade by me.
The album is being made under a Creative Commons license. I have zero budget for manufacturing or promotion. If someone wants to distribute it, great! I suck at that. [email protected]

For the record, I NEVER said that I was not accepting new articles. I DID say not to flood me with new articles out of guilt or whatever just because I made a post in which I chastised the EC Community members for not being more involved in the site. Many of those concerns have now been addressed through lively exchanges and various adjustments!

This looks like a great project! Thanks, too, for the artistic autobiographical elements of the post!

Great concept right here! Also, 1998-2013 is actually a pretty long time to be committed to the project! Great job!
