The premiere for Odd Socks was on last week on Wednesday the 27th of April. It was a great red carpet event with nearly 200 people who came along to see the first ever screening of Odd Socks.

Standing in the doorway we had a life size construction of King Darning as well as a couple of his mutant minions. Now in late May we are going to have some public screenings which anyone is welcome to attend. I’ll post the dates and times of those as soon as I can so everyone will know when they are.

I’ll also post up some pictures of the premiere as soon as I can!

Here is another very quick preview of Odd Socks. This is the ending of the song “Up” from Ben Moore (Richard) and Jane Yonge (Dahlia). It is also a bit of a sneak peak into the defenders base for everyone out there.

I hope you enojy!

Again its been a while since I have posted.But just to let everyone know, the final edit for Odd Socks is coming along very well. All the final mastered tracks have been finished, so basically we have a full soundtrack with 19 original pieces. At the moment I am doing a thorough sound edit and also putting all the new songs in.

Speaking of which, I thought I’d give everyone a little bit of a taster. So here is Ben Moore as Richard singing ‘Zap”

Enjoy!

Music for the Musical

So I guess it’s time to let you know that the music for this epic sock musical is finally coming into fruition. Over last weekend (the 7th and 8th of August) we managed to get a whole lot of players together and record all of the main songs for the film.

Paul and I spent about 2 weeks during the University holidays trapped away in the computer room at my house turning what we originally had for all the music into sheet music that players could actually read, and also elaborated on it a bit and made sure it was all going to fit into the film. The two of us then realized “Oh shit, we actually have to somehow record this now”. Neither of us even knew where to start in terms of recording a whole live session of songs. So we were bloody lucky then to get offered the assistance of Angus McNaughton and four students from MAINZ, Joel, Simon, Kieran and Paul. They came in with all guns blaring and used their epic skills to help us record all the music. However we had to still find all the players, which was a mission. Paul and I had some help from Claire Choe to get a bunch of string players, including Bleau, Rachel, Albert and Madeline, we had the assistance of Henry Chong on drums, Dennis Liu on guitar, Camilo Diaz Pino on Electric guitar and his band mate Nikki on Bass, Lawrence on percussion and of course the wonderfully talented Paul Robertson doing everything else.

Over the next few weeks the boys at MAINZ are going to be mixing all the tracks together and we will be getting in the actors to lay down the vocal tracks.

Odd Socks is nearly here ladies and gentlemen! I will put up some photos and maybe a video of the weekend once I can. So look forward to that!
