Octavio Interview Remix RadArtFilm

I’d like to unveil Wholesale Meat Media’s first promotional film (propaganda?) – a remix of an interview we found on the web where Mr Vafiadis was talking about the Octavio. Thanks heaps to Duncan for posting the original video at on10.net. Oooops I think I may have forgotten to ask permission to remix it but Mike tells me that they are probably cool about it (I hope so?). Anyway – shout of thanks to them.

I mainly chose the segments of closeup moving octavio footage and just used iMovie’s inbuilt processing to make everything look a bit like a dated music video. Hopefully this should suit the 80s-style octavio theme tune I made yesterday. I would have to say that Mr VAF is really quite an exciting guy to talk to (even though most of what he says goes over my head).

Anyway – please enjoy the viewing and be seduced into purchasing an octavio.

New Octavio Theme Song

Hi Everyone

I’ve just been working on a little Octavio theme song that I’m sure will aid in it’s conquest of the world. Jamie and I are planning to accumulate as many cliche jingles as possible to spice up our podcasts and use as backing music for the video remixes.

This song is mainly influenced by all that 80s spacey pop music. I don’t really know how I’m trying to imitate it because all I’ve heard is a bit of Peter Gabriel and Enya, but anyway spacey synthesizers (check), world music percussion (check), exaggerated reverrrrrbbbbbb (check)……….I had a fair bit of fun doing this and I think you should all have a listen to the mp3 linked below. I would recommend listening on a VAF product because you won’t fully appreciate the depth of the music on anything else :-p .

p.s. Jamie and I have written a rap about Powermove (the Octavio’s distributor) and it should be on the way soon……..

Octavio Videos Discovered

Hey everyone

Jamie and I have just been holidaying at the beachside town of Middleton so there has been a lull in posting. Anyway, we are back and ready to continue learning, finding, creating etc.

Until recently, we didn’t realise that there were videos on the octavio. But it turns out there are two and they are both great. My highlight would have to be Freddy Mercury’s guitar solo during the octavio demonstration. I can verify that Mr Vafiadis really is knowledgeable about the technical stuff as evidenced by his explanation in the interview. I asked him about the use of the passive bass radiator because some people are calling it a fake subwoofer and he went into detailed explanation about how although it’s passive, it fulfills a role similar to a port and allows the system to be more efficient. I am really quite excited about the mashup opportunities and a mashup would be a good excuse to make a soundtrack which would be fun so let’s do it.
