So... what else is new then???
Well, I have been massively busy working on the new full feature lengh video for:
"Mysteries - Forever, Today" 
(the link will take you to the song).

Most of the scenes for the first half of the video are now complete, here is a set of snapshots from some of the scenes...

 If you would like to see these & more close-up, click HERE to visit the 'Mysteries video photo shoot album' where you can see all the shots more clearly.
The 'Mysteries video' is coming together extremely well & will be a hot performance with a more high-end production than anything I have previous worked on, it will include - multi-layered scenes, exotic fantasy settings, full animations on both backgrounds & foregrounds including paralax layered movements.
I am very excited on how this video is progressing & cannot wait to share it with you all.

Enjoy the songs & previews.
Best Wishes Always

Brand New Song

Click HERE For A Listen...

All music written, performed & produced by AORPETE.
Bands that influenced my work on this song included:

Urieah Heap
Mike Oldfield
Danny Vaughn
Ugly Kid Joe
Steve Hoegargth
Jethro Tull
Rush

Written for my beautiful daughter Lia
who was diagnosed with autism at the age of three.
Autism is a very complex condition that can make the most simple
tasks in life seem like impossible challenges.
Despite the fact autism has been known to the medical
community for over fifty years there is still no known cure.
Lia is the most amazing person & has a larger than life personality.
She has the most addictive laugh & the ability to light up a room
with her charm, beauty & humour.
For me, Lia has completely changed my life for the better
in more ways than anyone will ever know.
Just one of the many things Lia changed in my life was bringing me back to music.
For a long period I did not have the time, support or energy to work on music & Lia
was the one person who changed that for me.
From the age of three months old there were many times
when Lia would get distressed for no
obvious reasons & singing/playing guitar seemed to
be the only way to passify her.
Not only did my music passify Lia she would get excited
 encouraging me to play again & again, it is from Lia's enthusiasm &
persistance I got back to writing/recording music.
NORSACA is a charity run organisation that maintain
a number of local facilities which help people with autism & there families.
There work is incredible, inspiring & critical to improving
the lifestyle of people with autism on such a massive scale that I feel it is
necessary to promote fund-raising to further their resources.
Past 2 PRESENT (my upcoming album) is 100% charity based with
 all the proceeds in aid of NORSACA & will be available over the coming months.
I hope you all enjoy this new song from the album.

Build The Stars
(Video Now HERE At MySpace!!!)

"Build The Stars" is an original song written & produced by Mimic Of Mind & AORPETE.
It is the follow-up to "Eternal Night" - another successfull song we wrote a year earlier.
This is a full-performance video with multi-angled shots & overlays making sure you get full coverage of all the action - make sure you see the explosive scene three-quaters of the way through where you can see AORPETE in a full-performance on drums, bass, guitar & keyboard.
Special thanks to DMusic & our friends there for nominating "Build The Stars" in the 2008 Awards.
On a personal note - neither myself or MOAM have ever met & our scenes were shot in completely separate countries.
Influences included: P.O.D., It Bites, Randy Rhoads, Rush, IQ, Harem Scarem & many more.

I hope you all enjoy - click HERE to watch!

Below are some screen clips...

Hope you all enjoy!

Best Wishes Always

Build The Stars

(Video Shoot)

Yes... Me & MOAM are working on a studio performance video for our latest track BTS.

Since it's release (promotional-streaming) we have remained in the DMusic top 20 listens (mostly at no.1) & continue to stay no.1 in the sub-genres (Rock/Progressive Rock) - for this we are massively grateful for everyones support & particularly to DMusic for making me featured artist.

Most of the shoots for the video are complete (except for the built-up parts near the end - really looking forward to that... lol! :D).

The video will be centered around the performance & boasts multi-layered / multi-angled scenes giving an up-close look at how our roles played-out.

The beauty of multi-angle/layer scenes means you get to see all the parts performed with maximium impact - vocals, guitars, bass, synth & drums...

We are both really excited & enjoying putting this together despite the fact it is taking ages plus still very much in the early stages.

Below are some taster shots showing some of the early scenes...

I am hoping all will be ready to reveal by mid next week - fingers crossed! lol!

Hope you all enjoy!

Best Wishes Always
