Here’s a quick and short Dragon Day 2011 video. Missing is the confrontation with the Engineers’ Phoenix, but I was engaged in conversation at the time. Nothing much happened in any case. This year was notable in two respects: Rem Koolhaas’s Milstein Hall, under construction, is in the background as the Dragon takes off from Rand Hall; and the Dragon itself is made of metal — so no big fire to end this year’s festivities.
I wrote and recorded a new song, sort of country (not being a connoisseur of such music, I have to say “sort of country,” leaving it to others more into the genre to verify whether it is or isn’t). As usual, there’s a YouTube video and other production notes. I’m singing all the vocals, and playing all instruments (some of which, especially drums and bass, are played on a midi keyboard using GarageBand digital sounds). The video is shot with my low-resolution Flip camcorder and edited with Final Cut Express. Remixed Sept. 2, 2019.
