X-mas Carol

 

IMG_20131102_215603

Sele: (adjective) 1. Peaceful [the day, people]. 2. Calm, without waves [the sea]. 3. Quiet, who doesn’t talk much, who doesn’t make noise.   (Translate from Llingua asturiana/asturian language)

 

Sele is a collection of Christmas songs that are not actually Christmas songs. The same happened with Año Nuevo and Postcard. They are songs inspired by this holiday season, by the winter, the family gatherings & reunions, the decorated houses … but at the same time, songs that can be heard all the year.

I searched a homey, warm, innocent, close to nursery rhymes and lullabies sound. Children are really the kings of the parties, or at least as I see it. Compositions about optimism and joy, with a touch of melancholy, couldn’t do it any other way. I wanted to add and highlight a homemade and imperfect character, direct, without excessive tweaking and production. Something accessible to young and old people. The “Edward” touch.

 

 

Influences …

Christmas trees, wake up in a cold day, Laura Marling and Laura Veirs, children songs, The tallest man on Earth, carols, fireplaces, Cass McCombs, family photos, añaes, New Year’s Eve, colored lights, DADGAD, school notebooks, “the day after”…

 

 

Meet Point: Cameo

mzl.hzyxubxxCameo is a new free social video app that allows you to take as many videos as you want, and to share these in real time. You can shoot six-second 720p video clips and do basic clip trimming, editing your longer short films simply by dragging and dropping your clips.

Cameo offers its own filters, “Themes”. And you can also add a soundtrack to your short films, either through music in your iTunes library, or songs selected by the Cameo team. And that’s the point where I come into play.

Maybe you want to use some tunes from betterwithmusic’s library …


… or some new and exclusive stuff …


“There are a lot of iPhone owners who never touch the video feature they have, but Cameo could give them a good reason to explore video as a creative and social outlet that isn’t complicated to use.” TUAW

“The goal? To let you share stories, not just repeating clips of your cat struggling to stay awake. It may also inspire a new generation of filmmakers.” Venture Beat

“The iPhone’s camera is plenty good for amateur movie-making of all shapes and sizes, but you don’t see the average person doing much with all the videos in their camera roll. Cameo, a new filmmaking app for iPhone, hopes to change that.” The Verge
