this is a really slowly evolving project.
it started in february when dassa and papyraceous came up with the framed twists which were first done by melisande. I immediately loved this design, especially the backlit view with all those curved lines.
dassa invited people to join in folding those. I said I would.
and I tried. it took me some time to understand the idea, even though papyraceous had told how to do it. the concept is really cool: you fold square twists and then you treat the resulting paper like a new, unused grid and fold open-back square twists which provide the frames.
those big open-back twists presented the next problem. you need some etxra lines that are only slightly off-set to the grid and also quite long. I found it very hard to precrease them properly. which frustrated me so much that I let the project come to a hiatus. the orange piece had had it's first set of twists done in february and has only been completed yesterday.
as you can see I dug out the idea again on the weekend and test-elated it on bigger paper. I used an emboss needle to precrease the lines that gave me such trouble. this works quite well.
now there are two issues I still want to work on. first I want a dark border around the whole model, that should be easy to do. second I want more twists which means a bigger grid. I'll probably do it from tant. soon, I think...
and now it is your turn to fold this, too! after all, it is a gorgeous design ; )

Over the course of Devin Townsend’s storied career, a single constant has persevered: change. As far back as Steve Vai’s Sex & Religion, which Townsend fronted, to 2001’s landmark full-length Terria to the multi-instrumentalist’s country rock outfit Casualties of Cool to his stunning new album Transcendence, the Canadian isn’t too interested in keeping an even musical keel. To stay the proverbial course is, well, anathema. For certain, he’s far too impatient to write the same Strapping Young Lad song over and over—which is why he folded the band in 2007—and it’s likely there will never be a fourth or fifth Ziltoid album (a third if we’re lucky) because by that point he’ll be in a totally different frame of mind for galactic puppets gone awry.
“The Devin Townsend Project is still essentially a solo project,” he reminds. “One of several, but the difference is that I've had a dedicated team of talented folks here that really had great ideas. of the ways I consciously stepped out of my comfort zone was to the solicit feedback from not only the band, but also to production and engineering. Opinions from people I trust at the management and label, and all with a sense of building a kind of archetype of the DTP sound that would not ostracize people who enjoy the style, but keeping it fresh for me as well. One of the things I did was present my vision—which I’ve always done—and within that framework, I’d massage it with the team. For this record, in those sections, I’d bring it to the band and say, ‘Look guys, here’s what it’s supposed to do. This is how it’s supposed to make me feel. And how the audience is supposed to feel. This is how it interacts with the parts prior and after. That’s why it exists. It’s not complicated because we’re trying to jerk off here. It’s complicated because, in my mind, the emotional component of the section is complicated. But in lieu of how quickly I tend to purge music I’m thinking: how can we make it cooler while I can still move quickly? 'Here’s the basic chord structure guys, this is what I think it should basically do, be it angular or in thirds or whatnot... Dave [Young; guitars] and Mike [St-Jean; keyboards] Ryan (VanPoederooyen: drums) and Brian (Waddell: bass) , can you think of something cooler there? I’ll be back tomorrow.’”
“It took a year to try and figure out a template for what DTP should be and still be of interest to me,” remembers Townsend, “And as much as I’ve been a control freak for so long, I’m also at an age where I recognize those elements—like friends—in my life are ultimately more important than music, and the need to control something like the DTP at this point is more rooted in insecurity now that necessity. I do enjoy being part of a team. I like to think after so many records with these guys that I don't really have to be at the center of everything. I can trust a team of people—the right people—to help where I need help. I need an engineer who has better ears than me. My ears are getting tired after all these years. If you put together a team whose strengths are better than yours, and then you put in your strengths, then what comes out of it, for no other reason than for an experiment, is really cool. And in line with my need for a project to have a theme to draw me into it, That’s what this records theme became. It’s an experiment put to music. If anything really kick started the inspiration for the record, it was that. The desire to get the DTP 'right' for what it is.”
Recorded at The Armoury Studios in Vancouver, Canada with Townsend and Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood (Periphery, Animals as Leaders), Transcendence sounds absolutely massive. From the moment ‘Truth’—a re-work from the Infinity album—monstrously blends into the soul-stirring ‘Stormbending’ to the undulating cool of mid-point jam ‘Secret Sciences’ and Ween cover ‘Transdermal Celebration’, Townsend and crew have engineered a modern-day classic. The sheer scale of tracks like ‘Failure’, ‘Higher’, and the majestic title track is at once daunting and inviting. Transcendence pulls the listener in like a movie score. It has the emotional heft of Rosenman’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and the mega-riff power of Black-era Metallica.
Even if Transcendence had its 'bikini wax' moments—(Townsend metaphorically refers to his process as 'professionally hitting myself in the face with a hammer')—the final product is fantastic. In many ways, it’s typical The Devin Townsend Project, however there is now an inviting sense of depth and relative breathing room in the sound. Always professional and sonically awash in darks, lights, and colors between, it turned out not only to be an acceptable new DTP record, but arguably one of the best. What also added to the overall quality was the addition of five guest musicians—including but not limited to ex-The Gathering vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen, vocalists Ché Aimee Dorval and Katrina Natale—and a five-person choir called Tigers In A Tank. Their contribution to Transcendence’s overall ambiance is noteworthy and necessary.
“Well, I love working with female vocalists because I’m not particularly fond of singing and I really react emotionally to female voices,” posits the frontman. “I kind of fell into singing. I could never find someone who would sing like I wanted, so I begrudgingly took the job. Anneke’s obviously worked with me for a while now. Ché was on this record because she was with me in Casualties of Cool. And Katrina sang one song on the Ghost album. Also, I wanted the three of them on this record if this was to be the last DTP record. They bring it all together. So, sticking with the same people is the same reason I’ve been married for so long. Once I find great people, I have no need to look elsewhere for the similar things. It’s kind of great as it eliminates option paralysis in that area, though as different needs arise, often things evolve as well. As for the choir, it’s typically been inefficient. For the last record, I went to Amsterdam and it was crazy. I went to Sweden and it was cool but super-expensive. On Epicloud, I had a gospel choir, but had to over-dub a lot. For this one, I asked my buddy Eric [Severinson] to find three capable women and two men. I was able to create the choir by doing over-dubs and recording on-the-fly. It turned out great and it was very efficient.”
With over 60 songs in the bag for Transcendence, (not all, he is quick to point out, of the same quality) Townsend obviously had to pare down. The songs that made it, however, are breathtaking in their scope, beautiful in their presentation, and heavy—noticeably—enough to out-bombast the sum of The Devin Townsend Project’s previous full-lengths. Certainly, Townsend knows how he feels about the songs on Transcendence (and its accompanying second disc). Each song, from ‘Truth’ and ‘Secret Sciences’ to ‘Stars’ and ‘Offer Your Heart’, provoked a reaction from the man.
“My litmus test for whether or not a song or a record is working is really about my visceral reaction to it,” Townsend says. “If I react to it, then it’s correct, for me. That reaction could be repulsion, it could make me cry, it could irritate me, I could be loving it, it’s pretty much all the same. As long as I’m affected by the song, then I know I have something accurate.”
As for the Townsend’s loyal fans? The very fans who’ve been waiting with bated breath for Transcendence?
“If it gives me a reaction, then I hope it’ll contribute something to their world. Ultimately, I'm happy to contribute my observations to the massive sea of music. If there's anything that became clear to me throughout this all is the value of being part of something as opposed to being too concerned about 'being' the thing'

Never got to finish some of my reviews (mostly my fault) but I didn't want to leave these pictures unreleased.
So here is the image gallery from the Project Mc2 Wave 3 Bryden review that never happened. Enjoy.
new personal project, started yesterday.
all us photographers know about the 365 project. a way to keep us accountable of taking a photo every day for a long period of time. i attempted to take a photo every day in May and didn’t eve accomplish that. but i like to take on things that overwhelm me, with the end result usually being failure. so of course thought every day of an entire year would be a smart idea. than i thought, why not just start this now. on an average day i am looking at at least 87,493 more photos than i take, pouting about how brilliant they are and how brilliant mine aren’t. part of this (which i need to keep reminding myself) is that i am young. which is no excuse just a reminder that i don’t have to have a wonderful portfolio and have traveled the world, yet. i am at the age where i need to learn, i need to do and make and create and expand. So that is why i am taking on this project, because right now a lot of my photography i am disappointed with, not because it is bad but because i want it to be better. so day by day i will document my self taught (and some friend taught) progress.
The Ballerina Project is a worldwide photo shoot of ballerinas posed in the most random of places. Here are the beautiful and talented young ladies of the Bay Area for my take on The Ballerina Project! Stay tuned for more :)

I came across some photos of a project from last year. I was asked to put together the parts for a model of Poole Bus Station for someone to build. (Not really my sort of thing at all)
I duly designed, printed and dispatched it. To keep the costs reasonable I only actually built a trial of a small part of it - these are the photos, which several months on don't look too bad at all!
The whole model comes out at over four feet long (!!!), and takes an amazing amount of card, but if anyone fancies a crazy challenge then let me know.

This shot was grabbed totally off the cuff. Cian grabbed her hands and started walking with her around the room. She loved it, constantly beckoning him to pick her up again when he let go. So cute!
The VACANCY Project invites the public (and local government officials) into Richmond's vacant Central National Bank on April 8th 2011 to experience a series of light and sound installations through the building's interior. The project hopes to creatively address and affect issues of building vacancy in Richmond by observing the history of the Central National Bank and its current state of decay and disuse. Lighting design in the space is compo...sed with respect to the building's architectural features, history, and deterioration. The project's sound design is composed of natural audio recorded at the Bank in 2011, and of local popular music recorded in Richmond in 1929.
Once Richmond's tallest building, the twenty three story Central National Bank stood as a testament to Richmond's economic strength during America's Depression. Built in 1929 to provide needed office space and draw new businesses to the heart of the city, it became the pulse of a bustling Virginia economy.
Times changed and the city shifted. The skyscraper now stands vacant (along with 2,400 other structures), with rich history and potential, visible to nearly all of Richmond.
The VACANCY Project is a collaboration between sculptor Joshua Bennett and sound artist John Dombroski, undergraduate students who received a research grant from the VCU School of the Arts supporting the project.
Perhaps Project September hasn't gone quite as well as intended, what with a week gap in between shots, however it was intended to be a loose project to get me back into shooting a bit more, and in any event I've also been enjoying playing guitar.
