Update: New release date for Sights of Space

UPDATE!  Sights of Space has a new release date: November 29th.  I originally aimed for a late summer release, but several factors have delayed production on this one, and I have also decided to expand the ambition of the video.  

I don't think I have ever missed a target release date, so this is a difficult call for me to make, but this adventure needs more time in the oven.  Plus I do my best work when I am not rushed.

In the meantime enjoy t...

BINARY DREAMS: How A.I. Sees the Universe

VIEW LINK: https://vimeo.com/725525543
PASSWORD: "dream"

What happens when machines begin to question their origins?

In this short film created with generative art, we explore how artificial intelligence sees the universe, its creators, and its potential futures. I believe the emergence of artistic A.I. has touched off a new era for art that could be as profo...

New images and new video announcement :)

Hello friends! It’s been a minute! There’s a reason for that.

I am working tirelessly on three videos simultaneously, in addition to a number of commercial projects I am currently a part of.

Progress continues swimmingly on Sights of Space. It’s shaping up to be an epic journey, still slated for release later in the summer (likely August).

I am also laying the foundations for an epic documentary on the future of Earth & mankind, which I mentioned was a goal of mine...

The Sights of Space: Official Trailer

Very excited to present a patreon-exclusive first look at my next project THE SIGHTS OF SPACE:

https://vimeo.com/688511321/86b7189a10

In the past few decades, we have discovered nearly 5,000 worlds beyond the reach of our sun.  One day, these worlds may become not just a distant point of light, but a destination. 

This film is akin to an interstellar road trip to the most amazing places ...

New film announcement!

Happy Friday everyone, and to any of my Ukranian friends, I hope you are staying safe in this terrible situation.

I am pleased to announce my next short film THE SIGHTS OF SPACE. Following last year’s release “THE SOUNDS OF SPACE”, we are taking a journey to the weirdest, wildest places in the Milky Way, inspired by the latest exoplanet discoveries that have revealed worlds beyond imagining.

Tentative release date is end of Spring, but could spill into Summer this year.

Who are the masters of the universe?  Are we the only intelligent life, or is something else lurking out there?

For 60 years now, we have probed the skies for signs of alien intelligence, longing for connection -- to no avail. But the game is about to change.

Proudly presenting the third chapter in...

Life Beyond 3: Official Trailer

First look for patrons!

The official trailer for Life Beyond 3: In Search of Giants.

For this installment, we're going big.  Is there other intelligent life out there?  Who are the masters of the universe? 

What could they be like? How can we find them? And what would happen if we did?

For 60 years now, we have scanned the heavens in search of a signal, to no avail.  But new theories and new research are pointing us in exciting new directions.  ...

Life Beyond 3: New Images

Excited to share some new glimpses into the world of Life Beyond 3.

THE SOUNDS OF SPACE: A Sonic Adventure to Other Worlds

This short film was created in collaboration with the podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz, and is adapted from their episode "Space Remix". 

Space is not just a feast for the eyes -- it’s a feast for the ears.  You just have to know where, and when, to listen.

Floating in the silent void of space are trillions of islands of sound, each with their own sonic flavor -- some eerily familiar, some w...

First Glimpse: The Sounds of Space

Patrons!  I am excited to offer an exclusive first glimpse at a new video I've been working on the past few months. 

This year, NASA's Perseverance rover gave us our first  audio recording from the surface of Mars. The audio is chilling, and inspired me to wonder: what does the rest of the solar system, and beyond, sound like? 

More details to come, but for now please enjoy some screenshots.  Aiming to post end of May.  Stay tuned!

Let There Be Life: A Cosmic Art Loop

How do you capture the birth of the universe, our sun, planet Earth, and life, all in one audiovisual loop?  Well you can't... but I tried anyway. Proudly presenting: "LET THERE BE LIFE" 

A celebration of our beginnings, and possibly our future, in an endless cycle that begins with the singularity, and ends with the watershed moment of multicellularity, an evolutionary invention that may ultimately lead to new universes -- beginning the cycle anew.  Bet you can't watch ju...

Melodysheep + NFTs: Bridging the content gap

As all of you know, my projects are very time-intensive, and usually take months to finish & release. I prefer working this way, but it's not the best strategy for building an audience or keeping income flowing. 

To bridge the gap,  I've been experimenting with NFTs, the trendy new way to sell & trade digital art pieces online.  It's proven to be a great way to experiment in a new artistic medium, and pull in some extra income between releases.&nb...

Enjoy this first peek at the project, and thanks for your continued support.  Peace and love,

PASSWORD: blink

When we look up at night, the universe seems pretty quiet. Not a lot going on. But that perspective is an illusion; in reality, there are millions of world-shattering events happening every instant across the cosmos. This short film explores just how much is going on every moment in our ridiculously enormous universe.
