Here Comes Gorbot!

Well, after that less-than-optimistic previous post it’s time for some kick-ass news that’s actually been months in the making. Time to premiere the video for Call Me Greenhorn‘s Here Comes Gorbot – off the coming CMGH2 aka The Abandoned Project album! Directed by Robert Griffith it stars Jerry Kokich and Olivia Dunkley from The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West web series – Olivia at her best Fay Wray and Jerry doing some great work as the King Kong-esque Gorbot, one of my fave criminal characters from the series.

The album itself will feature eleven tracks that actually were abandoned once I started creating music using Reason 6.5 in early 2013 – which if nothing else should tell you how much of a difference said DAW is to work with compared to other software available today. There’s nothing wrong with the tracks per se, it’s just that once I got into Reason I felt it was a second phase and that initial work just didn’t cut it. If memory serves me correct the video was shot in November 2012 and the songs were created some time during fall of said year.

Anyway, the album is due to be released later on this month complete with bonus tracks and the video. In the meantime check it out and share away! Cheers!

UPDATE: I’m stoked to announce that the video has been selected top pick at Frequency.com! Check it out here and if you install their application you can even watch it on your iPhone!

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Rescue Sandra West…

Hey kids, new week and time for another episode of The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West! This, their 30th, is entitled A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Rescue Sandra West and features a pretty damn epic fight scene – over four minutes long!

There’s some nice, tight editing in this one and I think Robert Griffith did a great job with it. Got some nice tracks from Call Me Greenhorn as well with Ooky Pt.2 and the all-new Superseven Fight Theme Vers. 2 making its debut, plus some cool tracks by Aussie musician The Jimmy C – including his brand new Sandra West Theme.

Speaking of the series I was glad to see them announcing that their campaign on Kickstarter was successful with an extra $1,000 raised for the project. So congrats to them and congrats to the funders as they’ve got a free download of the They Call Me Superseven OST coming their way. If you haven’t, make sure to check it out on Bandcamp and share, share, share away!

I’ve been busying myself sending out tons of promos lately – man, am I thankful for the digital age as postage and packages would’ve cost me a small fortune! – and was informed by director/producer Robert Griffith of The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West that Spy Bop Royale wrote a nice lil’ blurb about Call Me Greenhorn‘s They Call Me Superseven OST album calling it “wild, way-out” and “nutball”. Check it out here and – again! – here’s the link to the Bandcamp page:

Kickstarter (update)

copyright Sellergren Design 2013!

Make sure you head over and check out the Kickstarter campaign for They Call Me Superseven as me and producer/creator Robert Griffith decided to sweeten the deal by offering every backer a free download of Call Me Greenhorn‘s They Call Me Superseven OST album! Yeah,  not only are you doing the production a great service, you also get screen credit plus some nice tune-age for your computer, iPod etc. to enjoy while basking in your new found celluloid glory. Check it out here.

Speaking of the album: The stats on Bandcamp are quite impressive, and I’m thrilled to see the sounds are getting spread all over the dang planet. A bit frustrating when it comes to Twitter though as I’ve found out it’s damn near impossible finding any post pointing people in your direction – I’m a nerd and really want to send out thank-you notes to those that actually take their time to promote my music. Still available here and there’s also a sample track on my SoundCloud:

Heads I Win, Tails You Die!

Yay! Just received a heads up from director Robert Griffith that the fifth season of The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West just kicked off with episode 28 named Operation: Heads I Win, Tails You Die! featuring some great musical work courtesy The Jimmy C as well as my recent additions Ooky Pt.1 and Superseven Chase Theme (coming soon on a soundtrack album near you, hint hint.)

This looks great and I think the increase in amounts of music used actually adds nicely to the overall viewing experience – especially the fight sequence with Olivia Dunkley! And I thought it was pretty funny putting Jamie’s Eulogy off his recent Orbital Debris album as a sign-off. Check it out and feel free to share!

Sandra West Tunnel Strut

Well, the feature They Call Me Superseven is coming along quite nicely, and while I’m busying myself creating music for it, director Robert Griffith posted a nice lil’ teaser on Facebook yesterday entitled Sandra West Tunnel Strut. Featuring music from Australian The Jimmy C, I think it has a great spaghetti western kinda feel and fits just perfectly with the imagery. Check it out on YouTube here.

The track is entitled Roland Hyde 2: Follow Me and you’ll find it on the album Hyde & Seek (original soundtrack album 2009) available via Bandcamp.com. Check it out here.

Out now!

Here we go: I was hepped by director/producer Robert Griffith that new The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West mammoth 5 DVD box has been released! A total of 28 episodes with bonus goodies like blooper reels, interviews, photos galleries and videos with The Norliss Tapes performing Groovy etc. – providing a whopping 4 full hours of entertainment! For a measly $19.99 plus postage (in the US) this baby can be yours. Ordering info here.

(Double dose) Superseven!

Well, first off a big congratulations to the cast and crew of The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West as they have officially entered in the 2013 L.A. Webfest! They won some awards there last year, and me as well as The Norliss Tapes are keeping our fingers crossed they’ll pick up a few more this year!

Second I received an email from director/producer Robert Griffith informing me that a second Sizzle Reel is now available for your enjoyment on Webisodes.com. And those who enjoyed our video for Groovy might be able to see that one as well starting next week. You’ll find it here.

(More) Adventures of Superseven! (and More!)

Yay! First off big congratulations to the cast and crew of The Adventures of Superseven and Sandra West as they have now officially entered to the 2013 LA Indie Film Fest. It was recently made public on their Facebook page and both me and The Norliss Tapes are keeping our fingers crossed for the guys. Check out the festival’s official website here.

Second; director Robert Griffith recently posted his b&w short Sadistic Adventures of Captain Marvel on YouTube and it’s pretty funny stuff. Recreating the look of 1940s movie serials, this one offers a Cap’n that have way more in common with say Clint Eastwood‘s Dirty Harry than the usual good hearted super hero. Check it out and feel free to share!

(More) Adventures of Superseven

Well, director/screenwriter Robert Griffith just gave me a heads up on Facebook that the coming episode of The Adventures of Superseven entitled Op: Kiss Kiss, Kill Kill will use The Norliss Tapes Surfing with Androids for its closing credits. Great news and again I’m doing a little office-chair mambo to celebrate. The first part (apparently it’s a two-parter) is scheduled to air on August 11th, so keep your eyes peeled for an update on his official YouTube channel here. You’ll find the track on our third EP Bad Robot EP available on Bandcamp and here’s lil’ taste:
