"Laser Loser" Out Now digitally and on CD
"Laser Loser" - 2 song EP/CD
The songs "Laser Loser" and "March of the Doldrums" are like a dumb, short concept album. One song is the movie, the other is the credits (intro or outro). It is released on compact disc, as that is a laser-based format. Only available at shows.

Video Process for "Laser Loser"
The loose idea for the video is that its about 5 minutes into the future (or happening right now), and a low-paid contractor works by themself in a dome, killing people with a direct energy weapon. I used a green screen, security cameras and DVR monitor, a prosthetic head and a miniature setup, as well as some filmed effects like the laser (which was my scanner with a reg gel put over it, filmed at an angle with the wide angle lens on my phone), and some video feedback to act as what the laser might look like on the monitor.

"Computer Eye"
I just release another single. There is also a "music video". Really it's just a dance video to part of the song. I don't see a need to make a video for an entire song. Usually there is just a visual idea that would be neat to make, but it feels boring to make it last for the entirety of a song. Also just isn't in line with the medium of watching it in the cramped space of a social media platform. The analytics for videos suggests that most people aren't watching past 3 seconds anyway. So at that point, it ensures that you think about just making it for yourself because you want to.

"World Is Down In The Dumps"
First single for upcoming LP. Inspiration came from three sources: 1. I love Pet Shop Boys and wanted to write a song inspired them. But they are good and I am not, so it turned into this repetitive downer. 2. Flipper's “Hard Cold World”. 3. Was the concept in Ghostbusters II where this ectoplasm called “mood slime” (technical term: psychomagnotheric) is generated and affected by negative emotions and behavior. Eventually it reaches a tipping point and all these monsters and ghosts are released. If the slime was real, our world would be drowning in it.
Video is vertical because it will likely only be seen on phones. I only used a piece of the song, as 99% of people won't make it past 3 seconds in a music video.
