ouch, 167 megs... why so big pen-pen? Mine is only 50 megs at full quality first pass mode. Ofcourse the resolution is lowered to that specified by Rose4emely for the project files (512x288)

The latest version is only 66 megs. I didn't know Rose4Emily's FTP was up so I put it on Kalium's. Uploading to R4E now. The large versions are from when I was back in school and had to compress with premire.

Speaking of which don't worry about quality too much on this one, it was a quick one pass encode without any filtering.

Sorry for the confusion.

Alright, here's my two currently-final versions.
Any suggestions? (before my internet is cut sometime today

)

"Deception of the Thrush" by ProjeKct 3

Seeking new sounds and ideas through live improvisation, the ProjeKcts appeared from the fragments of King Crimson's "Double Trio" lineup in the late 90's. Taking on this alter-ego, the musicians sought to break away from the band's established history, with a sound that fused conventional instruments with digital synthesizers, effects and loops. Particularly crucial to the ProjeKcts' style were soundscape guitarist Robert Fripp and touch guitarist Trey Gunn, who took part in every ProjeKct. Spanning at least five distinct lineups, the ProjeKcts have guided King Crimson's music into the new century.

"Deception of the Thrush" initially came about in 1997 as part of ProjeKct 2's experiments, continuing to be performed and developed live by ProjeKcts 3 and 4 until 2003. The version presented here was one performed in Tokyo on April 15, 2003.

The piece consists of three primary parts. The first begins with a soft soundscape, punctuated abruptly by an electronic voice reading fragmented lines from T.S. Eliot's poem 'The Wasteland'. As the last of these lines fades, a chaotic guitar solo rushes through in a desperate tone and a powerful beat develops, leading this second part to a climactic conclusion. However, as the last notes of the solo fade, soft, floating chords suddenly brighten the soundscape, and the bittersweet final part of the piece ends with the soothing notes of Trey Gunn's touch guitar solo, fading to silence in harmony with the soundscape.

"Kashmir" by Bond (with London Session Orchestra, originally by Led Zeppelin)

Seeking to break the traditionally-somber image of classical music, Bond are an innovation to both the look and the sound of a string quartet. With the flair, good looks and attitude of a rock band, and musical influences ranging from folk songs to modern dance music, these four young ladies performed successfully across the world and have thus far released two hit albums.

"Kashmir", however, is among the more unusual tracks by the band, being a cover of the famous song by Led Zeppelin. Written primarily by Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, it was first released in 1975 on the "Physical Graffiti" album.

Following a short, suspense-building intro, the music breaks out into a powerful rhythm, telling of its' rock roots, with the orchestra supplemented by percussion providing this solid backdrop throughout the piece. However, through these rhythms comes a distinct Eastern motif provided mainly by the soloing violin. The piece is divided into several well-organized sections which build and release tension, and ends climactically, finally fading into silence. Hailing to its' geographical source of inspiration, "Kashmir" is a musical journey through the mysterious mountain region.

If I don't post again in a while - good luck with finishing the project folks!

darn I downloaded the wrong one. Oddly enough Kaliums was down when I tried, and Rose4emely was up, so I thought 5.0 was your latest, since I hadn't seen that one yet. I will try to get latest one then. But form what I've seen so far, its looking REALY great. I had some complaints on the titles, but I'll see if you fixed those in the latest release before I elaborate.

So, just curious - are all the videos done yet, or are we still waiting for some? I've kind of been uh... almost in the dark since the main FTP went down. Wondering how close we are to the final thing...

I think we need rose4emely to come in with a tally on the status of the parts we are still working on.

I want to do a few tweeks to my vid, but it can be included as is If i don;t get around to it before the project is released. I'm currently in the middle of my AWA project with not enough HD space to tweek my ghibli vid without deleting something. I'll try and figure something out though.

I want to see this project completed soon aswell ^_^

If there aren't any objections, I think I'm gonna declare Surrealism finished (at the last "beta") and begin to clean stuff up. My new computer is coming tomorrow so from now on editing should go as smoothly as whipped cream.
