In the interest of maintaining a slow steady stream of posts on this site, I present to the masses some pics of our first hands-on design/animation session!
Our excitement from creating the animation test in the last post was so high we had to get that out AQAP. These pics show a little more detail on the Stack Dump model, as well as a concept for Cliff’s character.
Another weekend has passed, and another writing session down. The script for SpaceBase:Infinity is coming along nicely, and should be wrapped up in the near future. Until we have something more substantial for you to sink your teeth into, take a gander at these cool “story board” drawings done by Mike:
We’re far enough along with our new project that at this point, I feel like we can reveal a taste and update what we’ve done without fear of us giving up in the next few weeks. It is with this in mind that I can finally announce the new Small Glowing Pig production: SpaceBase: Infinty.
UPDATED 9/20/2011: Bonus unfinished tracks added to the end of the original write-up…
It’s been a month or two since release and close to a year since the last recording for the Vacation EP. I gave it a listen recently for the first time in months and figured I’d post my impressions of the project now that I’m removed from making it. Overall, a few things jump out at me as I listen.
At long last Small Glowing Pig presents The Name EP, a different sound and feel from past projects on the label. On this album, musical duo The Name experiment with sampling their own music and incorporating live performance elements into a very groove-oriented sound.
Check our main website or click here for more info and a link to download the EP. Possible live performances to follow, most likely in the greater Hartford area. Stay tuned!
The new Small Glowing Pig website is finally here. Be sure to update your bookmarks to smallglowingpig.com, as it’ll be our home for the foreseeable future. On to the celebrations…
First up is a new release from Steve Blonski & the Victor Frankensteins. It’s the first proper followup to a “Steve Blonski & the” album. It also marks a return to a band last heard from way back in 2000. Two tracks from that year’s Not Gonna be Splitting the Atom Any Time Soon are featured on the new release, Antimony. Enjoy!

Next is the first release from Vacation. Meant to be a catch all “band” for all the random nonsense I come up with during my breaks from school. Think Desert Sessions but generally alone and not as interesting. It was originally intended to have a real “band” feel, so I restricted myself to one acoustic, one electric, drums, bass, and vocals. I don’t remember if I kept it up throughout the seven tracks, though. I did, however, only use one microphone for the whole thing – including the drums. Craziness!

We’ll have more news about The Name and about a new project soon. The 10th Anniversary album seems to be on hold. It’s already the 11th Anniversary, so what’s another year?
