Ollie Tristram

The main thing I have been doing over Summer is writing, recording and producing music, most of which will be heard on my band's soon-to-be-made MySpace once we have finished mixing the last song.

Kamikaze Cocktail are a three piece electronic rock band. So far I have written and produced all of the music at home which includes two songs of original material and two covers. My friend Sam is the singer which has been recorded and mixed using ProTools. When we have written a couple more song we intend to start looking for gigs. We will effectively play to a backing track of our own music using a sampler and then live bass (played by me), guitars (played by Sam and Andrew) and Synths (played by Andrew) will be played on top of that.

Video-wise over Summer I have been very uninspired. And it has annoyed me.

The only video I have produced is another strange, eerie and pointless video titled Fusty Olde, that just makes me look a little weird. It was edited on Adobe Premiere CS3 and features a few effects and a little stop-motion bit on the end. Talking of inspiration, it was inspired by David Firths video, Crooked Rot, below.
