Merry Christmas! Enjoy this series of animated videos my friends and I created and are releasing over 12 days, starting on Christmas Day, 2014. Each video illustrates a verse of the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. J-Walt conceived this project on December 18th, and quickly assembled the team which created designs and animations to […]

Anitar Upgrade Step 1: “Intuos Pro Large” replaces Intuos 3, courtesy of Peter Dietrich at Wacom! Better sensitivity, and it’s wireless. It’s the first step toward a completely wireless ANITAR! Thanks, Wacom!
Live immersive 3D performances in Groningen, Netherlands! I’m revving up for a multi-day event in 3D at the futuristic new planetarium in Groningen, Netherlands! I’ll be giving a series of performances between August 21 and 31. This is a brand new 3D theater that just opened in June. I plan to make my shows morph from one […]
Macao Science Center at sunset
Taken before my performances at the Macao Science Center on June 18, 2014.
I’m excited to be returning to the Macao Science Center for a performance on June 20! I’ll be taking control of their astounding high-resolution 3D planetarium, creating my fantastic dreamscapes and (hopefully) wowing audiences! It’s part of the IPS-Macao International Fulldome Festival. I performed there in 2012 and had a great time. It’s the highest […]
This piece of music shouldn’t exist, but it does. It’s obviously a soundtrack to an action film, a kind of retro spy thriller set in China. But the movie doesn’t exist, and nobody commissioned me to make it.
I was playing around with ideas, and this soundtrack started to emerge. I could have moved away from the idea, but I went ahead and added a few typical movie soundtrack tropes. So now I imagine that it’s for a movie made today but set in retro 1970s Shanghai, as a Bond-style spy flick.
“From Shanghai With Love”
I’ve cast Jon Hamm and Maggie Q to play the leads, and of course a sexy romance forms between them! And there’s helicopters, as you can hear in the music. And the exotic vague somewhere-in-Asia Orient scenes. Maybe there’s a scene with some monks in a temple. I don’t know yet. Wouldn’t you watch that movie?
Anyway,enjoy the music. Maybe you’ll think of ideas for the movie, too!
I had a great time performing two shows at DeAnza College’s Fujitsu Planetarium in Cupertino, CA. We had a large turnout, and the audiences loved the show. Many people of all ages stopped to give me compliments before they left! I hope to be back before the end of the year, so stay tuned! My […]
Many of you know (though some of you do not) that I regularly perform in planetarium domes. These “fulldome” theaters are peppered throughout the globe, and are beautiful places to experience my performances. I’ve posted a page dedicated to explaining my show in fulldome. I’ve also posted a page which describes each dome in which […]
