What I'm Into: Kristian Day age 24
Exerpt: "The film scene grew too fast in Des Moines to establish itself with strong legs. Iowa wasn't ready for it and it fell apart. New restrictions need to be in place. For example: The state should act like an "executive producer" and take a part of the profit and they should approve film budgets before they hand over the funds."

"Drawings by Billy and his friends" 3 minute experimental short film
From the press release:
In this experimental short film, Kristian Day collected artwork created by the public. He found the majority of the pieces at "Sharpie marker demonstration tables" and it took almost a year to collect the artwork. All pieces were created by chance with no prior thought. He originally intended on using the photos for a collage canvas piece, however after deciding that a short film would stand the test of time longer, he took individual shots of over 30 pieces. The drone music was created using a variety of simple sound generators & tapes that are being manipulated by delays, filters, and reverberation effects.

Excerpt:
"We're always on the lookout for up and coming filmmakers who do things a little differently from the norm, and composer Kristian Day seems to have accomplished that with his new short film "Bird Seed", which was written, directed, and scored by him...."

New journal posted on Last.FM
I posted a journal entry on Last.Fm of my top 10 ambient albums.
Here is an excerpt:
As a composer of ambient music, I have been asked several times what have been my influences. Which, depending on what day you ask me my answers may change. I went through my collection to try and find what I would not only consider great ambient music, but also a great diversity in the genre. You'll notice there is no Robert Rich or Harold Budd in this selection and as much as I do love their work, I wanted to include a variety of artistic styles. Not all of these will be found on your digital cable soundscapes channel.
Enjoy.
