"Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite"
Friday, 09 October 2009 00:00
Burnkit2600 pay homage to one of their most influential bands with a psychedigital cover of The Beatles’ song, ‘Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!’ – one of John Lennon’s most playfully visual songs, and one of the group’s (and of course George Martin’s) most experimental productions.
This song was created expressly for the 8-BIT OPERATORS 2009 tribute compilation ‘Wanna Hld Yr Handheld’. 8bitoperators.com/beatles
The video was made with archival footage supplied by the Internet Moving Images Archive in association with Prelinger Archives. archive.org
Happy Birthday, John Lennon!
Strawberry Festival Report
Tuesday, 05 May 2009 19:20
The Strawberry Festival was a huge success. We kept expecting to get nervous, this being the biggest gig we'd ever played, but instead we all just felt more and more excited. Getting up in front of that crowd felt like the most natural thing in the world. When we took the stage people swarmed the hill and we jumped into the set invigorated by it. We put in 200% and had a great time. Every break between songs was filled with cries of "one more!" Each change in a song was followed by cheers. We could not have asked for a better audience.
Scott and Carm stole hearts with their version of "Let Go." It was their first time performing it together. Dave looked on proudly while Carm's face was projected five stories high on the screen behind us. After we played we were on cloud nine. We spent the rest of the weekend taking pictures with anyone who asked us, signing whatever people wanted, and feeling giddy. The people we met at the festival were so consistently nice and so genuinely excited about music.
Progress Report

Things have been pretty quiet on the Seed A.I. front of late. However that is soon to change. The latest album, Circadian Rhythm, is nearing completion. It is filled with lush textures and dreamy synths. For a preview, there are a few songs up in the demos page.
The 8 bit follow up EP is also taking shape. This experiment involves a stacking of consoles in each song - dual Gameboys with LSDJ, midiNES, and C64 with Cynthcart/Mssiah. Dan is working out the drum parts on the works in progress, while I work out the new arrangements.
