Uploaded with YouTube's own Flash video recorder. It looked fine in the preview but yikes, lip-sync issues. Feel free to make kung-fu "AVENGE YOUR MASTER!" noises.
A creative talk quickie. I may do more of these.
Friendly greetings! I amplify your awesome with the useful + fun.

I had a destruction kit that used these godawful red particles for every destructive effect… so when people griped I let people put in their own. It was very nice to enjoy the neutral feedback.
Thanks Torley. That justifies all the directories of failed graphic attempts, or mistakes that look interesting, or just crap.
I have started to go back and look at the ones that failed for me & redo them with the immense amount of knowledge I have gained just over the last 5 years.
I also look back at some of these attempts and think, wow, that's pretty good. Did I do that? Amazing.
This advice goes for anything too, not just music or art, but writings, poetry, half written lines. All can be sources of new inspiration.
I'll be going through my bag of writing & poetry to finally reveal that part of my inner nature not many have seen.
You are such an inspiration, Torley.
Oh and have you thought to make these bubbletweets?
Friendly Greetings!
@Lionel Pictures, video?
@Wyn Thanks, I'm glad you found this inspiring. There've been times when I've been tempted to delete things that didn't come out the way I expected them or wanted them to, but I go, "Well, storage (especially in the computer age) is cheap, I can leave it sitting around… don't have to erase it." And often, weeks, months, or even years down the road, I look back and those failed (in my mind) attempts are what helped more excellently-manifested ideas to flourish.
Some things just need time — like a how a tree won't suddenly grow overnight. I like having things going on ambiently… it's good for residual presence too, tracking the history of how one thing led to the next.
I enjoy blogging for that reason and using all these new tools that are popping up — speaking of, will check out BubbleTweet!
For an example of someone who does incredible bubbletweets is @TheExpert (blogged about him a while back at secondwynd.com). For SecondLife subjects you would be as perfect at it. Like the 140 limit on twitter, bubbletweets have a limited time span. Sooo…. there's a challenge for you!
Torley, I am new to your site, but I already love so much of what I am hearing/seeing. I am also new to the technology side of music, so your video demos and tutorials are exactly the kind of thing I am looking for. I plan to visit here often. Thanks!
@Wyn Trying to find a way to get Bubbletweets to record my computer sounds too for music vids, so far it's just my mic… will dig further…
@Dave Thank you graciously for letting me know! I welcome thee and shall visit thy blog to learn more about you.
