My Name is Joe

'My Name is Joe' is a short film using public domain film footage from 'Office Safety' and a noise collage crafted by 'The Rhythm and the Cadence' (Portland, Oregon).

Michael Elam-Wasteland

The second video from the 'Michael Elam-Amongst the Masses' release (2010 Blue Harvest Records) is 'Wasteland' . 'Wasteland' features footage from the 1971 public domain film 'Sentinels of Silence'. The focus of this piece is based on the threat of the alleged 2012 Mayan apocalypse, and the beauty of the southern pyramids and temples (i.e. Chichen Itza).

Enjoy!

Trembling in the Square

'Trembling in the Square' is the first video from the 'Michael Elam-Amongst the Masses' release (2010 Blue Harvest Records). The video features footage from the public domain film 'Imaging a Hidden world' (archive.org), which showcases some of the landmark discoveries made by the microscope (including viruses, bacterium, prions, and the growth of crystals).

All of this brings to mind a parable; just because you can not see something, or refuse to believe...does not mean it fails to exist.

Amongst the Masses

Michael Elam-Amongst the Masses is now available as a free download. This is our first release of 2010, I hope you enjoy all of its spooky overtones and innuendos.




Enjoy!

Recycled Valentines

After a decade of making short films, Blue Harvest Records will release a collection of short films (and music videos) as a limited edition DVD-R. Before you ask...we have not yet secured the rights to release 'Stoner', therefore it will not be included in this release. We hope to acquire this licensing at a later date.

White Van Audio Scam

The first video for the newest Blue Harvest Records project: 'White Van Audio Scam' is for the song 'Brand Name Game'.

Footage from the public domain film 'Gateway to the Mind' (courtesy of archive.org) was cut up and restructured to create a 'Twin Peaks' meets 'The Velvet Underground' themed psychedelic freak out film.

White Van Audio Scam

'White Van Audio Scam' is Harsh/Glitch/Electronic music inspired by the white van audio sales scam of the Midwest and New England. The scam basically provides the illusion of high end electronics for "hot off of the truck" prices. When in reality, the merchandise is perfectly legitimate and legal...it is just of low Chinese quality. The scam utilizes brand names that sound similar to high end brands such as 'Genesis Media'. You can read more about this scam here.

This EP also has an accompanying 'Harsh Version' that was remixed by Joseph Boldensmith (Portland, Oregon) using the original Propellerhead 'Reason' loops and a seamless flow of Harsh noise from an Audible Disease DM-1 Dementia noise/synth generator.

Both releases are available as free downloads at the Blue Harvest Records site.
