‘Machines’ (acoustic version) Emma Davis x Leroy Lee – 11Eleven Project

On 11/11/11 I took part in the 11Eleven Project, which I had also produced some TVCs & web videos for. I decided as part of my footage contribution to the worldwide documentary I would film with my old friend Leroy Lee who was joined by Emma Davis and performed the following for use in the documentary.

This is an acoustic (unmixed) version of Emma Davis’ ‘Machines’ and I think it is a beautiful track and suits the project well.

Then we filmed Leroy Lee playing some slide guitar which I seem to beg him to play every time we film something together.

I’ll be posting some more of my 11Eleven Project footage shortly. Click on some of the URL links if you would like to hear/see more of anything discussed above. Enjoy!

1930′s Premiervox (Rickenbacker Export) Electric Guitar

This is my 1930′s Premiervox Electric Guitar which was made by Rickenbacker for export to the UK. It was handed down to me by my Pa which purchased it from Nicholson’s Pty Ltd on George St in Sydney, Australia sometime during the 1930′s.

Feel free to leave a comment if you know anything about these guitars.

Filming with ‘San Cisco’ for Tunes For Change

San Cisco are an exuberant four-piece from Fremantle, Western Australia who kindly donated their song ‘Golden Revolver’ to The Seed album for Tunes For Change.

I had the opportunity to travel west and visit Jordi, Scarlett and the guys as they talk about writing the song and how Western Australia manages to keep producing an incredibly talented range of musicians and artists.

Below is our chat with them plus a bloopers reel… yeah, they like to giggle.

Check out their new music video for ‘Awkward’ which is a really great song. Get out and support these guys!

Crowd-funding doesn’t work? Tell that to Julia Nunes!

Written by Bradley from Ninja Milk – Creative. Social. Content

KNOW & GROW YOUR AUDIENCE

I have been following YouTube singer/songwriter Julia Nunes for a couple of years now and she stands out as someone who knows how to build an audience organically by posting video content of her performing songs (originals & covers) in creative ways from her bedroom.

Her YouTube account titled jaaaaaaa has since Mar, 2006 accumulated over 200,000 channel subscribers and her video views total 46 million hits. These kind of numbers would even make music artists/bands with large PR power very jealous.

CROWD FUNDING: Let the people decide a projects’ merit.

During the years that Julia has been building and growing her online brand a website called Kickstarter was establishing itself as one of the top crowd-funding platforms for creative projects. Using Kickstarter anyone can start a funding campaign to ask for contributions from people around the world who are interesting in pitching in for a project to help make it happen. The creator selects a fundraising goal amount and if  that total is raised the money goes to the creator. If the amount isn’t raised money goes back to the user who pledged.
