Traumafessions :: Writer/Director/Composer Kristian Day on An Americal Tail & Sesame Street

I wrote an article for Kinder Trauma.com

here is a preview:

As a child growing up in the late ’80s and early ’90s in the Midwest, I was normally entertained by video tapes and television shows. I can’t really remember a time where I wasn’t watching a cartoon or kids program. We didn’t have a lot of money so I watched a lot of things over and over again. This is the time where the young mind is very fragile and can be shaped easily for the long journey that lies ahead. None of these tales that I am telling you have anything to do with horror or anything around it. It’s amazing what parents think is good and healthy for their children to watch. Oh how little do they understand a child’s mind.

In The Company Of Soldiers

This has finally come to see the light of day...



This album was originally recorded in 2005. It was originally intended to be released as a 10inch single for club and radio play. For over 5 years I thought these recordings were lost. The sound reflects what I was listening to at the time which was a mix of noise and dance music. Clear influences heard include Merzbow, DJ Spooky, and Alec Empire. Everything has been remastered an is available for free digital download.

Cactua


Cactua is a short film collaboration between myself and make up artist Patrick Boltinghouse. This is the "single screening" version.

The "lock groove" version(endless playback with an alternative soundtrack) premieres July 9th at the Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines, Iowa as part of Brent Houzenga's Resident Artists: Guns Blazin' A Wild (mid)West Celebration.

ON the Spot with Ryan Kolder

As some people out there know (IE my Facebook peeps), I have been developing a local television program for Des Moines, Iowa called "ON the Spot with Ryan Kolder". We showcase local events and charities by giving them the spotlight for the community to see.

Here is our first full show:
