Well, the title pretty much says all I was thinking of. But basically, if anyone is into animation of any kind (I myself am a fan of stop-motion, 3D, and pretty much anything hand-drawn) I could use your help. You could choose any song you like, and make the video about whatever you feel like. If you need help coming up with some ideas, I could try and come up with some with you.

The video doesn’t necessary have to be animation either, if you have some other idea I’d love to see that too. Ideally, I’d like to have one for each of my songs.. it would help me get my music a bit more exposure I think, if done right. So anyway, if I get some replies, I will create a list here of which songs are being worked on, and by who, and hopefully might even get some collaboration going. Bye!

I’ve been thinking of an idea recently, in which I’d record live acoustic versions of all my songs, from my first album as well as the latest. I’m going to try doing this next week (since that’s the earliest I can get my hands on a decent camera.) hopefully it will turn out nice, and it’s the closest thing I plan on doing to a live concert for a while.

I’m thinking I’ll put each video in a separate post, and people can vote on them (or I’ll think of another way to do the voting) - regardless, I’ll take the ones people like and try to get them out on the internet a bit more (youtube, lastfm, myspace..) I mostly plan on doing this because I feel I have a lack of video content, and I’m not really that into my first music video. Ok, yeah, so that’s it. Bye for now.

Hello Visitors,

Here is an album I worked on a while ago (I’ve decided to make it easier to download, so, you can download it here, and if you find you enjoy it, maybe tell a friend or two.

1. Underwater Waltz
2. Black Sheep
3. Forget it
4. A Reason Why
5. Nostalgia, In Retrospect
6. Down is Through
7. My Self-centered World
8. Sleeping While Driving
9. Life in a Cave
10. Saline S. Sonata
11. Chloroform For Your Ears
12. The Last Living Man

I wanted to let people know how things have gone so far, as far as my record selling goes. Well, I’ve sold about as many as I’d expected, it makes me happy to know that there are even a few people out there who like it and want to listen to it enough to support me. So I appeciate that. Speaking of which, something that’s been very uplifting of late is that there have been a number of people looking at my work on a site called Jamendo and I’ve been getting very kind words from them, so I’d like to say thanks for that also. Jamendo works with the creative commons license by the way.

Now, I understand that since I’m actually giving my music away for free, the motivation to buy it slightly diminishes, so that makes sense. But, if you would like to help me, there is something I would find very helpful; that is, if you were to tell your friends about my music, or, if someone’s into being creative and making videos, then if they made a music video I’d be very grateful for that. I mean, I’ve had some ideas myself, but unless I have a team of cartoonists, or one very dedicated one, I doubt I could pull it off.

This is the news I thought I was going to say sometime last year, but apparently these things take a while. Well anyway, here it is: I finally have an actual CD you can buy! Find it at the store if you like, or if you want to buy it some other way, just email me at mail@bensimaginaryband.com and we’ll work something out.

If you were wondering about where the proceeds from sales go, it will be used to fund living expenses/new equipment while I make more music.

Oh, in case you noticed, the fancy new layout courtesy of my father. Aka Planetgrafix.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for coming by. If you happened to drop by earlier than March 18, you would’ve seen quite a different looking page (you can have look at it here.)

One that, while looking kind of pretty, was hardly considered user friendly. And, since the point of having a site is to show you my music, it seemed fairly imprudent to make it hard to use. So here I am, presenting you with site number 2. A site built on blogging technology, which means I can once again enter a trend stylishly late.

Ok, so I’ll try and put something new on here, say, every few weeks. I’ll be posting ideas, events, news, and sometimes even questions. And you if you feel like responding to any of it, your opinion is always appreciated. Or if you’d prefer to contact me directly, you can always do so at mail@bensimaginaryband.com.
