Speak, Memory performs a live concert at the Tower Theatre as part of the COOP Showcase on July 19, 2018. The band describes their music as, “unusual or obtuse at first, but easy to warm up to. Contemplative, a little dreamy. Occasionally frantic. Basically, like us.”
The audio source comes directly from the soundboard hence why you don’t hear the audience. This was my first time recording a concert at the Tower Theatre and it was a last minute project, but it turned out good. I had no control over the audio mix. In the future, I’d like to have more cameras to switch between other than the two. The band was happy with how great the video turned out and that’s what’s important.
If you’re interested, be sure to check out the next COOP Showcase, which will feature Vonna Pearl, Swim Fan, and Jose Hernandez & The Black Magic Waters at the Tower Theatre on August 30th. For more information and tickets, click here.
I recently sat down for an in-depth interview with brothers, Jacob and Zachary Burns, to discuss their feature-film, Electric Nostalgia. Unfamiliar dreams haunt a young woman after she is brought back to life in a body that is not her own in this sci-fi thriller from writer/director Jacob Leighton Burns.
This interview is broken into three segments:
00:00 – A non-spoiler interview about the movie
12:00 – A spoiler discussion about the story
32:41 – Filmmaker advice and behind the scenes stories
CHAOS is a maker space that encourages adults and children to Free Play. Once signed-in you’ll get to choose from an array of recycled electronics to take apart or put back together; while sitting at the Explore Bar you can just tinker. There’s also an area for building stuff with recycled materials where you’ll be able to create whatever.
In addition to being able to create whatever, visitors can destroy whatever in CHAOS’ outdoor area.
There are several things that I personally love about CHAOS. The first is that they have adult only nights so couples can have a fun date night experience playing together at a unique place. Another is that you can destroy things too and that’s a new concept to the area. I’ve seen videos features places where you could break things, but they were in cities like LA, so it’s wonderful to see the concept locally.
While many are familiar with the Myriad Botanical Gardens and Lake Hefner, this video showcases five of Oklahoma City’s lesser-known scenic parks, which include Kitchen Lake Park, Will Rogers Gardens, Lake Overholser/Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge, Martin Park Nature Center, and Bluff Creek Park.

“The Oklahoma City Museum of Art is honored to be one of the co-organizers of this prestigious retrospective and national tour,” said President and CEO E.
