I Want to Live Here…

Published on October 19, 2008 in In the Studio and Photo Gallery. 4 Comments

Hi. I’m Kym and I like stu­dios. I also like stu­doey things and want to have my own big stu­dio. Just like this. Totally.

A few weeks ago I was in the stu­dio record­ing vocals for an EP project that I’m cur­rently involved in — that was when the cold hit of course. The mix­ing is com­ing along — swim­mingly — and will be mixed and mas­tered in the lovely stu­dio you see below.

It’s so… beau­ti­ful. Being inside it was like walk­ing into McDon­alds, ask­ing for a 30 cent cone, and being given a dou­ble choco­late sun­dae with two choco­late flakes in it by acci­dent. Then, being the hon­est per­son you are, you decide to inform them of this mis­take. Being impressed by your virtue and hon­esty, McDon­alds decides to give you the sun­dae any­way. This stu­dio feels like that.

Secret Agent Kym

Published on October 19, 2008 in Photo Gallery. 0 Comments

So a few weeks ago I was asked by the super funky edi­tors over at Far­rago to shoot a cover for Farrago’s next edi­tion — the magazine/newspaper that I write a col­umn for. My task? To be a super, secret agent with a hid­den agenda; remove all the arts teach­ers from the Uni­ver­sity of Mel­bourne like it was nobody’s business.

And at long last, my dream of being on a magazine/newspaper cover has been accom­plished. (Even if it means it was a pro­file shot and slightly blurred grrrrr.)

Ah well, can’t have every­thing I sup­pose. At least I got to drag out a pseudo arts lec­turer, escort style, in one of the university’s lec­ture threa­tures located in their most iconic build­ing — Old Arts.

Podcasts to the Power of Three… (or Maybe Five… Six…)

Podcasting.

Gosh… who would have thought that I’d be involved in so many pod­casts eh? It started with only one… and some­how it built up from there… acci­dently might I add. I didn’t mean to go out there and start so many… but it just kind of hap­pened. You know?

Now we’re mov­ing into online stream­ing, and then video pod­casts, and then online tele­vi­sion. Kind of funny how things like these develop. But hey, if peo­ple want to lis­ten to my dul­cet tones and be vic­tim to the insane ram­blings of a mad­man, more power to the masses.

Com­ing soon to the pod­cast fam­ily is Dia­blo Out Loud, a pod­cast about — as the name sug­gests — Dia­blo. I’ve been a big fan of the game since its first release so I sup­pose you could say I’m a bit of a fan mmm. Ahhh then I hear that there is a video pod­cast com­ing soon; tech related from what I hear. Ahhh the rumor mill keeps spin­ning and spin­ning and spin­ning and it is rather late here and I am feel­ing incred­i­bly lazy so my thoughts may not be as coher­ent as I want them to be so I have decided to stop typ­ing now.

Here… here’s a photo. A photo is worth a thou­sand words after all.

Live from BitWire.

Me: I’m going to make all my money float­ing in a pool sip­ping apple miji­tos.
Dave: If you can make money doing that I want in.
Me: I haven’t quite worked out the details yet. It’s a work in progress. And you?
Dave: I’m still on the col­lege front right now but I know I want to work in media.
Me: If you go into radio I will fly over and ambush your show for fun. Same goes for TV and any­thing else you do.  I will become a lit­tle ter­ror. You’ll be giv­ing the weather report then I’ll run naked across the screen.
Dave: AHAHA! We have a 50% chance of — KYM?!?!?!?!

Dave Moyer — Ter­ror of the Interwebs.
