Improvised Guitar Solos: On the Road 2011

We recently took a week-long family vacation to explore the American southwest.  Along the way, we filmed (among other things) our dad playing free improvisation guitar solos in front of various wild, impressive, and strange vistas that we found during our trek across the country – locations include the Grand Canyon, the Petrified Forest in Arizona, the Rocky Mountains, Monument Valley, and a modern art fence designed by M.T. Liggett.

If you like what you heard, check out our dad’s website, where you can listen to some other samples of his musical work, as well as buy some CDs of free improvisation, blues, and jazz.

A Request for Fan Comments!

This man is excited to submit a comment! One of our favorite parts about making Earthbound is simply getting to interact with such a creative, vocal fanbase.  Now, we’re giving you, the Earthbound fans, a chance to participate in what we’re doing!

On the second Earthbound DVD (on which, by the way, production has not yet started), we’re going to be filming a special documentary consisting of us responding to your comments, questions, and concerns in the funniest, most outlandish way possible.  In addition, we’re taking suggestions on how scenes should be shot – whether they’re scenes from the Earthbound SNES game that we neglected, or from your own imagination – and in all likelihood, we’ll shoot it for this documentary!

We’ve already gotten several great comments from you guys (many of them good, serious questions we’ll be happy to answer!), as well as some rather silly comments!  Both are welcome for this project.

Watch the video below for more info, and happy commenting!

Milkshake: A Malti-Path Adventure

Here is our entry for the UbseyMovies 2011 Fan Art Contest – a gripping, surreal, choose-your-own-path adventure made of various UbseyMovies parodies, the main one being Milkshake!  Can YOU save Jon from the angry gardener?  Can YOU spot all the UbseyMovies parodies?  Can YOU figure out what on earth is going on?

Let us know what you think!

June 7 UPDATE: UbseyMovies loves it!  Not only did they do a very kind, flattering write-up about our fan art entry over at ubseymovies.com, but they designed a way cool piece of promotional art for it!
