hey everyone,

we’re working on updating a new Overlap online shop, and some fresh site upgrades. a new swell of growth is upon us. this is due largely to Louis Rawlins new work on the site with the help of Jon Philips.

outside of our event and release announcements, we’ve consciously tried to keep a low profile for the last couple years while structuring the website we envision. soon we will be cracking that shell and sending out our first official Overlap press release ! those of you who are already members of Overlap will get this info 1st.

you may have noticed that your blog, submitted to Overlap.org, is no longer aggregating into the Overlap commons. this is intentional. we’ve decided to remove blog aggregation for the time being, since debugging it was using up too much of our time, and we concede that Overlap is not friendfeed or other social networking fly paper.

Overlap is an online platform for experimental media releases and events. we encourage you all to share your music, and videos and audiovisual work, ideas and event announcements with us by using the Overlap.org blog provided to you upon sign-up (the same blog i’m using right now to write this note to you all). we feel that simplifying the technology of posting your media will encourage more submissions.

2009 is going to be the 1st year that we actively promote this project to the world. many thanks to all of you who have been supporting overlap since the beginning. your encouragement, ideas, amazing media and thoughts have sustained this unique culture we are creating. you are all very awesome. keep spreading the word !

2009 looks to be a great year as we already have over 8 releases planned and more to come and a few events brewing for the 1st quarter. more updates on the way.

+ if you want to be involved in these events, help out with Overlap organization in your city, or be a part of the Overlap crew working day-to-day on this project, email us at info@overlap.org we welcome your voice and ideas in this growing project.

Son of Pink Dot was created in fun after being turned onto Takeshi Murata’s Pink dot after creating my first glitch piece “Plugging Into Pleasure”. I just got done watching the Son of Rambo and I instantly thought of producing “Son of Pink Dot”. I love the connections that the four movies/video pieces start to create in relation to the remixing culture.
