Bardos Thodol Works

BTW’s been very busy the past week, organizing in a new space, sorting out new products and experimenting with different methods to make them. The desktop computer hasn’t been in use which translated into a break from audio recordings and the promotional videos we started posting recently, which we’ll pick back up. May 1st is our target date for our store opening again. To the Store, I currently have to add a couple sizes of Glass Jars, Candles, Mugs, Wooden Boxes, X-Large Shirts, an over the shoulder carrying bag, and Bulk Sticker and Magnet Orders. We can add designs or customize any of these products and ship them to anywhere.

I was at a show last weekend, met some cool people, gravitated right into the underground community here like a magnet which is always a good time. I’ll be developing a physical presence out here which is something I haven’t had in a few years, working on the business and my artwork. One could say this is the fun part.

I have to do some odd jobs for money until I can build inventory and promote myself in person, to skirt around the digital barriers placed before BTW, so we aren’t so much at the will and whim of the maligned corporate/personal interests that plague us. While this may be reality, so is the fact that the business yet exists, I can still make art, I’m alive and getting healthier, so is my partner. It’s only up from here, through everything.

Oh and all music sessions planned to continue by the end of the weekend 🚲

Completed

I, and by extension BTW, now have a webcam to stream and record the things I’m working on or involved with. It’s not the best but it’ll work fine as a starter camera.

I set up a Twitch yesterday, I’m doing some test recordings syncing the camera and audio with success. I’ve been planning on streaming the adventures here online for a while, including how to videos, speed runs of artwork, and general peaks at my life.

To start off our new camera era, here’s the beginning of a live looping sessions run where you can actually see some of the stuff I’m doing with the Kaoss Pads I use, as I explore sounds with a microphone and  the pad’s in-built synths.

I’ve made a personal account for artwork/video/streaming uploads there.

*I was previously restricted to the 3 ft cable attached to this webcam, making it difficult to work with, I’ve been able to get a 10 ft extension cable which makes the camera more mobile*

Some NFTs we make/videos on this site are rendered then posted in H.265. It’s a newer file format for videos. Because of this, some browsers will not play the videos (without the appropriate codec). Most video on this site is H.264 by this point, but if our animations won’t play here or on exchanges, that’s likely what’s happening.
