JAGGED SUNRISE

AHHHHHHHH!
Time is creeping!
Halloween is right around the corner and I still don't have a costume...but I do have designs for a costume. I am going to be the spiritual embodiment of a Steel Drum Carnival Time Keeper.
I'll do it with pictures to follow...


In the meantime please enjoy this video I made to celebrate the Halloween season and my fascination with beautiful space in repose. The video is called Jagged Sunrise


Jagged Sunrise from Tyrone Tanous on Vimeo.



Jagged Sunrise features the music of Giovanni Cristiani who has a very diverse career in Hollywood music composition and development.



For example, he composed the score for Fulci's DEMONIA as well as Coppola's Lost in Translation.






I needed a piece of music for this video shot at about 5am, when darker spirits are chased away by the heat of the sun. Thanks to Love Fingers for the musical inspiration!

BACK ROOM BIRTHDAY



I forgot to mention - it went down like that.

This event had some flair and a real purpose behind it:

"...This exciting evening not only celebrates life and growth of these creative individuals but also serves as an experiment toward new modes of entertainment and the rise of the neo-supper club; restaurants transformed for specific occasions. The trend locked to small asian eateries makes sense as they are already primed for late night service. Night Clubs (irrelevant) and Bars (unfocused) sometimes just don't work. INDOCHINE (1984), the alternative to Studio 54, served well in the past and the EASY ACCESS disco take over of KHAO SARN II (2009) 25 years later proved very successful.

Lets continue, evolve, transform, maintain, and happen again...."

Makes me think of the affair I stumbled upon the other night over at TANDEM a new favorite neighborhood eatery with style. The establishment may have been conducting a secret soft opening for their backroom with dj sets from members of CSS, Hercules & L.A., and Zero 7 but it looked more like an open-minded, open-faced party to me.
