Toes in the Sand Apreciation Threrad

these guys release some really great tunes.
www.toesrecordings.com

They do. Silent Brothers - Alba EP is one of my favorite releases from the past 3-4 years.

One of my favorite labels next to Tilth. I love the "Autumn Leaves EP" from Matthew Adams, esp "Gold Leaf", can't wait till his "No More Anymore" track is released on there. Rasti Tkac's "Sparkling Inspiration" is also nice. "The Alba EP" is okay, but not feeling all of those tracks on it. Another great one is the "Sunscape EP" by Flipform, esp "Beat Junkie", that's an excellent and chilled breaks track and "Tokyo" by Riko, an amazing track, esp the original...very deep, melodic and somewhat chilled(how I would describe many of the releases on Toes In The Sand, definitely not full on stuff, but very deep, melodic with an early morning sunrise feel to them).

another great release coming outthis fall from Toes

Unbelievable remix, love Matthew Adam's style, but the fall is too long! Why not Summer?

And did you film that? It says on your profile your into film making...

yes i did

Yeah it does. It is like an early morning type track. I love those. That's how I described the Toes In The Sand sound. Kind of spacey, dreamy, chilley with a nice rhythmn to it.

That's cool. I've always wanted to get into film making but I don't have much experience other than a 5 minute film I made in a Mass Media class in high school. It was mostly nature scenes, like in the Fall with leaves (which Matthew Adam's "Gold Leaf" would have been cool to use, but I used Chicane's Autumn Tactics as this was 4 years ago), Enigma's "Return To Innocence" during a waterfall and geese and duck scene in my subdivison's park, and then Moon during an eclipse, it was really neat...and it was set to an Enigma track called "The Piano".

I'm writing a short novel right now, which I hope to make into a script. I met a guy whose getting into screen writing who I knew from my freshman year in college, and he'll help me with putting it into screen play format. But right now, it have very minimal dialogue. I'm guessing most of it will be based on visuals more than dialogue.

im really bad writing dialog too, my professor told me when ever i write, i can get the plots and actions really perfect. some of worlds greatest films had improvised dialogs. french cinema mostly..movies like the 400 blows, jules n jim. but the best thing to do is watch a lot of movies and just listen to conversations or take part in conversations. kevin smiths movie clerks was all based on conversations he n his friends would always have.

btw i did do a video for Gold Leaf back when it was known as Sunburst.

Yeah maybe this guy can help me with dialogue or someone else. But I really don't want it to be dialogue based but I have no choice with the story because it would be boring without it and I need some way of furthering the story along because it is so complex. I guess I'm aiming for something like a combo of "The Fountain", "His Dark Materials (which will be released in December)" and a mixture of some other films or stories...a little bit of "Donnie Darko" and "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Never Ending Story". But i'm desperately not trying to make it pure fantasy, or pure science fiction, it's more like "philosophic-fantasy fiction" or "dream-fiction" as I call it.

Yeah I just need to really work on the visual cues but make the visuals somehow tell the story. Anyways back on topic. Do you have the Gold Leaf or Sunburst video I could see?

yes and no..lol

well wat happened was, i made the video back when the track was known as sunburst. it was bascily like the digiboy video except i shot it at a beach with hot chicks, waves etc... then the track was changed to Gold Leaf so i wanted to do a different version of it. i never really got around to doing it cause i was too busy with my films for university. and the footage i originaly shot was used as 'stock footage" for my buddys film. i ll see if i can upload a cut of the film with my scenes edited into Gold Leaf.

Yeah Gold Leaf really needs an autumn theme to it. The other one sounds like an Ibiza type video. I used to watch these videos on DanceTrippin.tv of Ibiza, with nude beaches and all haha. Ibiza is the perfect place to film a movie IMO, so pictueresque. Unfortunitely..it's turned too commercialized and littered with druggies and yuppies i've heard. Would be cool if it was brought back to a really peaceful, spiritual, arty and fun place (sorry I don't find getting completely wasted or high fun...).
