Know: The Music Video

Know

Today, I'm releasing the music video for my track, "Know." I've uploaded it to four different sites, Vimeo, Youtube, Facebook, and ACID Planet.  It's one of my older songs I recorded but I recently decided that I'm making videos for all of my original songs that I've recorded and there's a bunch... So I will continue posting updates as I complete them. I've already posted some of them in this blog.  I know it seems sort of strange for an artist to back track like this but I have my reasons.  The main reason, which I realized recently is I did all these songs for myself, not some popularity contest. I'd like my kid to watch them all some day and be proud of all the work his dad put into his music and creativity.  Of course, I plan on continuing with my original songs and my loop-based songs in the near future.  For now, you get music videos... There's nothing wrong with that... Maybe I'll make it into an album of music videos... So without any more delay, here's the new music video....

A new music video, this time it's for the Jimi Peak Music song, "Know." I wrote the song several years ago and it perfectly represents my style... I wanted to use my roots of heavy metal but not use a distorted guitar or normal power cords... The drums and bass could be for a much heavier song but the guitar is clean, open-chorded, dissonant and it's about as cheery as I ever am... The song itself is about needed a reason to continue and knowing it in your soul, mind and body. The video is mostly from several late night outside guitar treks. I used Sony movie studio to complete it, I recorded the song a while back and it was recorded with Sony Vegas. I played the guitars, a few electric guitars, and a twelve string electric. It's accented with a synth guitar in between the first few parts. I started recording it by laying out the drums while my bass player Erik jammed his bass. I also recorded two vocal tracks. There's a few inconsistencies but the energy and key's very powerful. I love the song and I'm the only drummer I've ever heard that understood the island feel I wanted. It's a solid song, I've always enjoy playing it in front of people, and it's not a normal style for anyone... Please enjoy and share.... Thanks.

Most recent profile for ACID Planet

Recently I purchased Sony Movie Studio 13 Platinum Suite with it came a copy of Sony Acid Music Studio 10. When I started making music I noticed there was a community called http://www.acidplanet.com.   

I'll be honest, it feels like the remnants of a once great community now it's a little bit overrun by the survivors.  I enjoy the community and the basic way of interaction... The only files you can upload are MP3's and small 20mb WMV's.  

The cool thing's there are people that have a passion for music, I'd recommend that if so inclined you all should become a member and just listen and read,

A Few New Music Videos

Since it's been a while, I thought I'd display the new music videos for those who care...

The Road

The Road from Jimi Peak on Vimeo.

A video I put together with pictures in an animation style mostly. The song started off as a poem I wrote that fit perfectly with this riff I had been jamming on... It's about a place that has open possibilities, an unknown place we all go to in our dreams, the last frontier of the mind. I recorded it originally on a Tascam cassette 8-track recorder then bounced it down track by track into a computer. It's got a warmer feel and a more distinct sound than straight digital recording. It has two drum tracks, a bass track, a keyboard track, two electric guitar tracks, one classical guitar track, and one vocal track... I used all original tracks available by cassette and no digital over dubs... The song has deserved a video for quite a while....

Can't Understand

Can't Understand from Jimi Peak on Vimeo.
Can't Understand is one of my favorite songs I've ever written and recorded. I always wanted to do a video for it but I never did... until now... It's about feeling confused about the world and one's place in it. At the time, I was questioning my daily reality and wondering what to believe in... a higher being, people, ghosts, or even family... was any of that stuff real enough to believe in? I eventually found the answer for myself but much later. It's alright to question reality but don't change the way you treat people because of it, it will backfire. I love the way this video came together, it's some video and some photos... Watch for yourself, thank you!
