Hi Tom, this is a very professional piece of music. Did you write the music before or after the video was made ?
Greetings, Rik

Yes.....we put this together and then hunt down something visual to match....this is our normal course with all our musical/video projects. As you can see this award winning video mated fairly well and Rodrigo Blaas has a masterpiece on his hands!
Congrats to Rodrigo and crew for the outstanding work!!

That was very entertaining. I was jamming along so I really didn't catch that much of the video. Love your augmented progression ( Very Tasty ). Rewinding the video now ... Cool yeah that fits very well! It's just missing the sign - "Shoplifters will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law"  Great work as always!

Well thanks Tom... I'll probably have nightmares tonight...
the music is perfect for this video, and they're both outstanding...
and maybe just a little disturbing... I'd love to know how you guys hooked up this the animator and how you make it work so well...

You guys are flat out amazing. Sooo strange . So awesome. I watched this with the little lady and my ten year old son and we all loved it. The music is super good and whoever did the animation and came up with the story has talent and then some. I knew something bizzare was gonna happen to that little boy and I was saying no ..no man don't touch the damn doll. Excellent A+++ I'd be curious to know if there was any influence for the part where he touches the doll from pagey's scene in the song remains the same that occurs during the bow solo where he scales the mountain and touches the older incarnation of himself.

Holy stinkin' mackerel! I believe I have a new DT favorite. The music and the video held me captive for the whole 5 min. I'm talking UPTOWN, totally pro production. Congrats!!

Thanks for all the feedback....we really enjoyed working on Storybook. But this baby sings due to the great animation work.....and as in the past I mainly use the Behnace Network for making contacts for much of our video/animation/still picture work. And to answer the "hey how did you do that"? kinda stuff in a word, "luck" (and about 100 hours of leg work). The story line of this particular video and tune just seemed to click. In the past I've had to do more than a bit of editing to make the whole thing mesh..the down side of that is that I've had to work with animators/producers/video guys (after the fact) that have a much better eye then I (and to be blunt I'm a video editing novice at best) and that puts me in the hot seat so I'd not muck their great work to make it jive with a particular tune...but this time out I spent very little time to make it work (hence the "Luck" part)
Thanks again!

Wow! Great work, gentlemen. As everyone else has said, this is totally topnotch and pro in every possible way. And sorta creepy in the best possible way  Great playing on everyone's part...I'm listening on laptop speakers and it still sounds killer. Outstanding.

Really fine choice of visuals for this song. Always nice to re-listen to a song like this too, what jumped out this time was the 'call and response' guitar/lead/vocals effects section round about 2:50 - masterful.

Wow--you guys are good. Most likely with 100 people, you'd get 100 ideas of how to add 'sound' to this clip. Yours is exceptionally well-done.

Outstanding work, have a good one!

Tom , WOW ... nice clean chord progression & musical thematic development the music sounded effing great & gelled w the vid perfectly imho, the video has an archetypal universal emotionally charged story i was able to become empathetic with the lead characters quest / journey this led me through a number of emotions that i could explore safely the desire to seek companionship , the initial attraction , after finding, the temporally loosing the opportunity due to a closed door , perseverance , dealing with the peripherals & dynamics of the extended social climate , risking intimacy, the sensation of touch , establishing the connection, the awakening......... then ultimately a transformation......and a bunch of other interpitive jazz my mind ran with ...lol after all of that , she was alone on display looking kinda super freaky lol oh boy ,,i got to stop now before i get too mental .... very nice two thumbs up Kenny

A Macabre Rocker. You guys play with such intensity. Well done vid too. You look younger in the video than i thought you were.  Your hard work is very apparent. Very nice
